file-sharing troubles

[Jason]

We have a wireless network in our home that's been working for years. It
comprises three machines, two running XP Home and one running XP Pro.
All share files with each other. Recently, one of the XP Home machines
can no longer share with the XP Pro machine. One can open the list of
shared files on the Home machine, but when you try to explore a folder
or open a file on the Pro machine an error pops up claiming the Home
machine has insufficient privileges. It also proclaims that there is
insufficient storage on the server (Pro) to complete the request.

I have found information about altering the lanman paramaters on the Pro
machine to increas the value of IRPStackSize. I have done that, but the
error persists. This client machine can share successfully with the
other Home system, and both that other system and the Pro system can
see/open files and folders on the Home machine that gives the error. The
Pro machine is configured for "Simple File Sharing."

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I've also run into the IRPStackSize registry entry scenario with my xp pro
machine. In my case, it was a 2000 machine trying to access the shared
folder(s) on my xp pro machine. Increasing the irpstacksize did the trick.
My systems are hard wired at home.

Perhaps you can try removing all permissions and shares and then try redoing
the share and security permissions. Switch to advanced file sharing and make
sure everything is set correctly. Are you sure you're using a user account
on the xphome box that matches (same username/passowrd) an exisiting account
on the xp pro box?

What did you increase your stack size to? Fifty is the max, if I remember
right.
