I was able to map a drive from my new XP Pro O/S machine
to my W2K Pro laptop, but cannot do it in reverse. I
keep getting "Not enough server storage is available to
process this command". What does that mean? I have
512MB RAM in this tub! It is probably some switch
because on my W2K machine the mapped drive always shows
with an X as if disconnected, but comes up every time I
click on it. I am netwroking through a Belkin 4 port hub
for cable modems. Any assistance appreciated.

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.
