Reading XML file on separate server

I have a C# ASP.NET project on a web server that needs to
read data
from a XML file that resides on another server in the same
network.

I am trying to do a Load into a XMLDocument object but I
keep getting
the error that says the app is unable to load the XML file.

What would be the best way to open and read the XML file on
the other server?

 Thanks,

Eric

Do what you are doing, but give the IIS user on your
webserver permission
to the XML server. You app lacks permission is the most
likely problem

Referring to point 3, where do I find code that will show me
how to
impersonate an Identity in code?

Thanks,

Eric
