Help - Not enough service storage is available

[Joe]

I have several computers (WinXPPro SP2 and Win98SE) in a small network
that all access drives on each other computers.

One computer MAPLE is most referenced. Most can access MAPLE with no
problems. I have added a new drive to MAPLE. When trying to map the
new drive, I get the message
"The mapped network drive could not be created because the following
error has occurred: Not enough server storage is available to process
this command."

MAPLE is running WinXPPro SP2 and has 512MB ram.

Is there something that I could change to increase the number of
shared network drives???

Information from MVP Hans-Georg Michna:

This error indicates that you are falling foul of the IRPStackSize bug.
The problem is on the machine you are attempting to connect to, not the
machine where you see the error message. On the computer you are
attempting to connect to, check the event viewer for an event ID 2011.

Usual fix : You need to fix a parameter called IRPStackSize

On the computer you are attempting to connect to, Set the IRPStackSize
back to the default (15 ). Perform the following steps:

1. Start regedit.
2. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters.
3. Double-click IRPStackSize (or if this registry setting doesn't
exist, create it with type DWORD and ensure the case is correct).
4. Change the base to decimal, set the value to 15, and click OK.
5. Reboot the computer.

Norton AV is usual suspect for breaking it. There's a KB article about
this, too:
