Can't share an external USB Drive on network

[Sylvain]

Under Windows XP Professional, I have tried to share the
content of an extrenal drive hooked on my computer by
USB. The other computers on the network can see the
drive but cannot access the content. This drive format
is FAT 32 (maybe it should be NTFS ???, maybe this is the
problem...). I would appreciate help.

Thanks.

Hi,

have u granted permission especially Everyone in the
sharing pane of the removable device. Everytime you
unplug the device the sharing permission is removed. you
will have to do it everytime u plug the device in.

Not sure but this worked for me in a similar situation.

The problem is probably that an antivirus program has changed an
obscure TCP/IP setting. Please see this Microsoft Knowledge Base
article for a likely solution, specifying a value of 15 for
IRPStackSize on the computer that connects directly to the USB drive:
