Probably because your webserver runs as user LocalSystem. While the exact implications of running as user LocalSystem are still a bit hazy to me, I do believe that *no* network mappings are allowed for this user. You could try to run the Webserver as a normal user (Control Panel->Services->Startup), and enable this mapping for the specified user. My solution was to hook up a large disk to the machine the web server runs on.
