System Error 1130 when NET USE to XP share of USB removable storage

[Guy Scharf]

I have a Windows XP Pro box (named Shadow) with shares set for the root
of each drive. I also have one external USB drive J:. I have used the
Disk Manager, Add drive letters, to mount this drive as G:\Shadow-J. I
have set share for G:\Shadow-J as Shadow-J. (I use this mount point
approach to avoid the problem with the NET SHARE disappearing from J:
when I turn off the drive.)

From another machine, either one running XP Pro or a laptop running XP
Home, I do NET USE for five different shares on Shadow. NET USE works
fine for the shares for Shadow hard drives (C:, E:, F:, G but fails
with error 1130 "Not enough server storage is available to proceess
this command" while trying to do

NET USE J: \\Shadow\Shadow-J

The puzzling part is that this worked fine the last time I used it,
perhaps a month ago. I don't know what I might have changed,
intentionally or not, on Shadow to break this.

I tried deleting the share and the mount point using Disk Manager,
rebooting, recreating mount point and share. Same failure occurs.

I can add more shares on hard drives and do a NET USE to them from
another machine and everything works fine. It's just this USB drive
that is causing problems.

I also tried sharing the USB J: drive directly, rather than using a
mount point on the G: hard drive. I was able to create the share and
set permissions fine, but any attempt to reference it using NET USE
from another machine results in the same error 1130 in response to the
NET USE command.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Guy,

The error "Not enough server storage is available to proceess this command" is
well known here.
