Network Problem

T

Tom

I have a three machine network, two desktops running XP Home and a wireless
laptop running XP pro. Two of the machines see each other and can access
files between the two.

The third machine has a shared printer and we can access it from any of the
machines. However when I try to get to a shared folder on that machine I get
the message telling me I do not have access permission and there is not
enough server storage to perform the command.

Confuses the heck out of me it does....

Can anyone help?

Per 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:
