I'm having problems accessing shared folders on a desktop via a laptop. The
desktop can access shared folders on the laptop but not the other way around.

Although the shared desktop folders are listed on the laptop, I get an error
message that says:

\\sharename\foldername is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find
out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available
to process the command.

I found a supposed fix for what is referred to as the IRPStackSize bug on
the desktop (the computer being accessed). I found that this entry was
missing in the registry and set it up according to the restrictions, setting
the value the default 15. It didn't resolve the error on the laptop.

The setup worked fine at a previous time, so I know it CAN do it right. But
something, I know not what, has changed in the meantime. Any help fixing
this would be appreciated.

Ray,

You have the right start. Don't stop at 15 though. Some folks have reported
going as high as 48, before success.

Since this is such a well-known issue, if the fix didnt work,
the first thing I'd suspect it an error applying the fix.

I'd double- and triple- check the following:

1) That you applied the fix to the correct machine ( the desktop );

2) That you put it in the correct place in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters.

I've seen the fix accidentally put in the 'lanmanserver' folder, for
example.
Be extra-double-sure it is in the 'parameters' folder.

3) That it is spelled correctly, observing the correct capital letters:

IRPStackSize

4) That the value is 15 in decimal, not hexadecimal.
