In .NET, what is the best way to identify if a directory is a symlink pointing to a network location?

To determine if it's a symbolic link OR an NTFS junction point we can use: 

System.IO.File.GetAttributes(folderName).HasFlags(FileAttributes.ReparsePoint);

But that's not precise enough as it returns true for junction points as well.

    "Check if a file is real or a symbolic link" is related but it's not a duplicate. The difference is file vs folder and I also want to determine if a symlink points to a network resource. – Vasile Mare Apr 20 '11 at 01:39
