Networked Hard Drive and Foobar2000

I have an external hard drive that is networked and I locally connect to the drive from my laptop. Well, I have a playlist that has songs from that hard drive and when I start foobar, it says I can't find the songs. I end up having to remove the songs, and re-add them. Any ideas? It's not an urgent issue, but it's kinda annoying. Thanks for your help in advanced.

Did you try mapping the hard drive to a certain drive letter and setting it as your media library folder?

My Foobar is setup via my LAN too with the mp3's being hosted by one machine and Foobar on 2 other machines (upstairs and downstairs) and I've never had this problem. I do have an external HDD though and I get a similar issue whenever I try to access files on it "if" the drive has gone to sleep as most do. I'd check that your drive is not sleeping when you turn Foobar on or at least check the settings on the drive to stop it sleeping.
