my code :

Dim oDirectories As String() = Directory.GetFiles("\\192.168.1.160\records\Files\" & dateC & "\", "*.wav")
Dim files As List(Of String) = (From q In oDirectories
                       Where q.Contains(indice)
                       Select q).ToList()

Dim liststrings As Integer = files.Count
ListBox1.DataSource = files
ListBox1.DataBind()

Make sure the NT Account your web service is running under has permissions to that share. — Steve, Oct 20 '14 at 14:04
Try to computer name instead of the IP. Does it work if you try it in windows explorer? — the_lotus, Oct 20 '14 at 15:46
When you deploy it, do you deploy to a server on the same subnet as the machine at 192.168.1.160? — Matt Wilko, Oct 20 '14 at 15:57

When you saying "deploying" - what do you actually mean - to a public/hosting server? Realize that you are using a private IP - which in, and of itself, doesn't always point to the problem (it's possible, depending on your type of hosting account - re: dedicated subnet), but based on the info you provided, that would be where to look first.
