Compare the outputs of the following commands on each computer: Also, while the forward slash in "R:/" would work, the backslash "R:\" is more canonical for Windows.

    Well, the only difference is that the computer running Apache 2.2 (newer) shows up in the NET SESSION listing under its network name. The server running Apache 1.3 is accessible over the LAN, but it doesn't show up in NET SESSION.

    Not a Perl question, I know, but help much appreciated -- so I can use Perl to do what it used to do so well :-)

      Could you elaborate on
      shows up in the NET SESSION listing under its network name
      ?

      Is this "Network name" a "local account"?
      Does it have access to network resources (R drive) ?

      Perhaps you can try to change the user name that the service (WAMP or APACHE) runs under.
      In particular, you should be aware that the "Local System" user account does NOT have network access.
