   I have a PDF file located in a shared folder on our network. If I open Firefox or IE, and type file://///docs/survey.pdf within the address bar, the file opens as expected. This tells me that the sharing permissions are correct (otherwise, it wouldn't open).

   However, if I use the same syntax within a link on my internal WordPress site, nothing happens. The file doesn't open, and I receive no error message.

   The shared folder is hosted on a Windows 2008 server. Our WordPress site is hosted on a different Windows 2008 server. Both servers are on the same network (our internal LAN).

   Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Could this be solved via some setting in the web.config file?

   Thanks in advance.
