Network access to system volume installed on RAID

[fj]

Is there any reason why you wouldn't be able to access shared folders that
are on a system [Win XP] from another Win XP on the same LAN? Both PC's are
in the same workgroup.
The error message mentions that the server couldn't perform the requested
function because there wasn't enough memory.

There is no problem accessing shared folders on the same PC when it's system
volume is on a single [i.e., non RAID] drive.

Thanks

Hi,

RAID or non-RAID makes no difference. File sharing relies on permissions and
share settings, not the type of drive installed. Insufficient memory
warnings could indicate that the system containing the shares has restraints
placed on the virtual memory or insufficient room for it to expand.

No, having RAID has nothing to do with networking issues. Are you sure the
error message is about memory, or is it this one: "Not enough server
storage is available to process this command error"?

If it is the error message, I've given:

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 regedit.
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 with 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:
