PC can't open own shared folders- "not enough server storage"

[Paul Kingston]

I have an XPHome laptop and an XPHome PC, on a lan &
sharing the PC's ADSL line. Both contain shareable
folders, and the PC has shareable printers. The PC can
see the laptop's shared folders, and open them.

The laptop can use the PC's shared printers, and also see
the PC's shared folders.

However, it can't open them- "\\XX\YYYY is not
accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. ... Not enough server storage is
available to process this command."

When I look at the laptop from the laptop (Run \\laptop)
and try to open its own shared folders, I get exactly the
same comment.

When I search the MS knowledge base for this comment, I
get no hits.

I'm very keen that the laptop should see the PC, because
my backup scheme (using DriveImage 7 to a large disc on
the PC) depends on this.

Any ideas?

My current email by the way is as above but at
dsl.pipex.com- I didn't quote it above for fear of mail
address strippers.

"Not enough server storage is available to process this command." error.

SYMPTOMS: When accessing shares on a server from a client, you may receive
"Not enough server storage is available to process this command." error. You
may receive this message and Event ID: 2011 after you install Norton
Antivirus for Windows.

Resolution:
1) The registry value IRPstackSize may be not explicitly present. To
increase the value of the parameter, go to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
LanmanServer\Parameters. If the key is not present, choose Add Value in the
Registry Editor. The Value Name should be IRPStackSize and the Data Type is
REG_DWORD.
2) Remove any unnecessary entries from this value in the registry,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
\NullSessionPipes.
3) If the machine has a non-zero PagedPoolSize in the Registry, you need to
re-set it by going to
HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management and double-click on PagedPoolSize and set to 0.
4) Disable Norton antivirus to see if that will fix the problem.
