Google Chrome will not load webpages when run from external drive?

Hi all,

I've been trying to figure out the following issue with Chrome.

I run all my portable apps from a mapped networkdrive (N:), and this is all working fine. All portable apps will start, and run without issues. Even the PA startmenu will run just fine, picking up updates etc.
But Chrome is acting up..

The app itself will start just fine, but it will not load any webpages entered into the searchbar. Windows will show the spinning circle thingy, but nothing happens.

Running Chrome from a local drive (C,D etc..) will work as expected. But having two locations for portable apps will make it cumbersome to maintain.

Is this something people recognize, or know how to fix - if possible - ?

thanks,

rob
