No, Windows services can't access mapped network drives. You have to use the full UNC path. \\192.168.1.1\shared\file.txt in your example (looks like the editor converted your double forward slash into a single slash, as if you were escaping it- you can also use machine name instead of IP address). Also, make sure that your service is running as an account that has permissions on the network share.

we have fixed it, when you are mapping smb share from linux to windows, and in your software show disk letter, for example Z:\somefile.txt it will not read it, instead it map disk and write full path for exampla \192.168.1.1\shared\file.txt
