I just migrated my asp.net website from one host to another. It was working fine with the old host but with the new host there is this error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

The network path was not found

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The network path was not found

Source Error: 

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:

Again my new host says that there is some issue with the web.config file and I should get in touch with the developer. Now since I have migrated from their service. there is no backup support and they are not responding. I have managed to trace the web.config file in my backup but could not understand the error.
