Networking

[Guest]

First, Microsoft, it would be helpful if the list at the top of this page was
in some logical order - another time-burner.

My issues: I have a laptop and a desktop in a wireless home network, both
with Windows XP. I often loose the ability to access files from the laptop
when using the desktop, and I get the following message: "(The network) is
not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the adminstrator............" "Not enough server storage is
available to process this command".

I set the laptop to grant permission to all users (me). I also disabled the
Windows and PCcillin firewalls.

I can access the desktop from the laptop, but not the other way around. Any
elp would be appreciated

If you are running Norton Antivirus, this article might apply:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177078

It cites a very specific error message which is somewhat different from the
one you mention however.

http://www.chicagotech.net/notenough.htm

is also cited by some folks as having helped them resolve this issue.

Both of these citations are pretty technical--they require registry
editing--which must be done with great care.

I've seen McAfee also cited as a cause for this message. So--it'd be
interesting to know what antivirus you are running, and how up to date it
is.

Bill, I have Trend Micro PCCillin antivirus software on both computers, but
that wasn't the problem. I recently installed a backup program on muy lapop:
"Acronis True Image 10 Home" I uninstalled it, and I have my laptop
connection back. I will discuss this with the Acronis support group.

Another question: how can I remove or delete extra networks, or were can I
find instructions?
Thanks for your help,

Excellent - glad you were able to get to the bottom of it. Acronis' provide
good support, I believe, so they should be able to help you out with this.

To tell you the truth--you're in the wrong place: These groups have a
fairly narrow focus--they're intended to provide support for Microsoft's
Windows Defender product--I've always wondered why they chose this
particular sub-category for a group--I should think back to bet1a--perhaps
there was more network-specific stuff in that version...

So--you'd be better served somewhere like here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...ft.public.windowsxp.network_web&lang=en&cr=US

This may explain some of your comments about the seeming disorganization of
the forum list--but possibly not--there are a number of different "portals"
to Microsoft's html-based forums, and they are each organized differently.

So--to answer your critique, I'd have to know the URL by which you reached
the list you found strangely organized.

Also--if you are accessing via HTML, a good many experienced users find NNTP
access to these groups more efficient. For this particular group, such
access requires a publicly posted username and password (hmm--or, at least,
it USED to be publicly posted)

See Malke's message--second in the thread here:

http://www.mcse.ms/message2228940.html

Her link to the HTML groups is dead, but you got here somehow, so presumably
you have that link!

Ahh--now for the actual question--how to get rid of excess networks. The
last similar question I tried to answer was from someone who, having gotten
rid of such networks, found another location in the UI where they
reappeared. I didn't know his answer, but I'll take a stab at yours:

Start, right-click Connect To, and choose Open. Highlight and delete as
desired.

You may not have a Connect To link, however, in which case it is start,
control panel, network connections.

Is that what you are looking for?
