not enough server storage is available

[eb]

I was getting this error message whenever I tried to access a share from
anywhere on the network. I was even getting it when I was trying to access a
share that was the actually machine I was trying to access it from.

I have no problem accessing networked drives. Just the remote CD drives.

After searching the net I found this site
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q106167 that deals
with the "Not enough server storage is available to process this command"
error message. So I checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\
Services\ LanmanServer\ Parameters to find that it was already on 11. I
would therefore assume that this is not the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you are referring to the value IRPStackSize, it needs to be 15.
Here's my usual lecture on the topic:

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 the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
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 of
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.

The value is supposed to be decimal 15. Here is information courtesy of
MVP Hans-Georg Michna:

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.
