Sharing files between two machines running XP Home and all works well except
one machine cannot access a CD drive. I keep getting the message " access
denied - not enough server storage available". Any ideas???
I had a similar problem when trying to share an external USB 2.0 drive. When
I found the problem I posted the following to the news group. Here it is
again...

If you are sure you have set up your accounts and shares correctly but you
still can't access a machine over your LAN and you get either access
permission errors or "Not enough server storage" (or perhaps other
messages?) then his might be worth checking.
Look in the event log on the "server". This might be an ordinary PC in the
case of a home LAN, either way it's the PC hosting the share you are trying
to contact. See if there is an entry telling you the irpstacksize is too
small.
I believe this problems may be due to Norton Antivirus S/W...
Norton have this advisory (long URL may wrap to new line and need repair)

and Microsoft have this one..

HOWEVER the above only mention the error message being "Not enough server
storage...". I found it can also give access permission errors (something
like "Access denied" or "Insufficient acesss", I can't remember exactly).
These are really confusing to someone trying to set up a home LAN.
Here is what I found...
irpstacksize = 11 (dec) causes access permission errors.
irpstacksize = 13/14 the error changed to "Not enough server storage" or
similar.
irpstacksize = 15 and my network shares now work fine.
