Help Sharing Folders

C

CTerrian

I have 4 computers all using Windows XP Pro. All the workstations can
share folders except one I'll call "Chris". I've checked, and double
checked the share tab on the Shared Documents folder on "Chris" to
ensure it is shared on the network.
If I open My Network Connections (from any workstation), I can see the
folder, but when I try to access it, I get a dialog box that says:

\\Chris\SharedDocs is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to
find out if you have access permissions.
Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

I log into every work station with admin privileges. Even if I log into
"Chris", and open My Network Connections, I see the Shared Documents
folder from "Chris", but I get the same dialog. No Firewall. Intranet
security is set to LOW. Use simple file sharing is selected in the View
Tab of Folder Options in Control Panel.

Can anyone offer some help? Thanks!
