Cannot access hang-on USB drives via LAN

[Dr. Dos]

Cannot access hang-on USB drives via LAN, even from that
computer itself when looking at them via the LAN.
I can see and use them fine in the normal Windows Explorer
(File Manager).

Drives are set for sharing
sharing is "simple"
firewall is off

error messages ..."might not have permission..."
(I am sole user with full permissions.)

"Not enough server storage to process command."
Drives have more than 40 to 90 GB free.
Computer RAM 1.5 GB of memory.
Cl drive has 60 GB free.
I am sure this message means something else than a memory
shortage.

How do I get access to these drives via LAN?

What are the drives hanging on? Check the server (that's hosting them), and an
obscure registry setting, that typically gets changed by antivirus products.

The USB drives connect to the computer (notebook computer),
two through a multi-port usb hub to a docking station and
another directly to same computer via a usb port on the
computer itself.

I'll check out your links.

Thanks.

Is the error message one of these?

Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

Not enough memory to complete transaction. Close some applications
and retry.

If so, the message is very misleading. The problem is probably that
an antivirus program has changed an obscure TCP/IP setting. Please
see this Microsoft Knowledge Base article for a likely solution,
specifying a value of 15 for IRPStackSize on the "server" computer:

Yes, of course, as I noted, the "memory" message is misleading.
As a result of the help of this community, you have helped
me to resolution. Thank you for knowledge and contribution
you are willing to share.
I followed the suggestion (above from Chuck) to add
"IRPStackSize to HK Local
machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters.
I modified in the DECIMAL mode and imputed the value of 48.
This works and I am verrrrry happpppy.
Will MS ever get it close to right?
Thank all y'all for this help.
The communal democracy of knowledge is much better than mystery.

I should mention that the stack occupies memory. Hence, if you solved the
problem by increasing the stack size, you have increased the memory
available for the stack. The stack is where the memory shortage happened.

Nevertheless, the error message is hard to understand as meaning that there
is not enough memory assigned to the stack.
