Howdy - please help! I have a couple of issues with
external usb2.0 devices and Windows XP Pro...
First a bit of background: I have a recently purchased a
usb2.0 external hard drive which I planned to share over a
small office network [workgroup - not a domain situation].
There are 3 computers on the network, 1 running windows
2000, 2 running XP Pro - all with Nortons Antivirus
installed and the 2 the XP's possibly not entirely service
packed. The drive is connected a machine running XP Pro and
is definetely usb2.0 capable.
On the machine of which the usb2.0 drive is connected, I
can see & use the drive as per normal. However when
attempting to map a network drive on the other computers to
the external drive I recieve an error message "Not enough
server storage is available to process this command"...
Any suggestions on how to fix this? I really need to be
able to access data on this drive on other machines!
The other problem I have relates to an external usb2.0 dvd
burner and the afore mentioned external hard drive... When
the XP machine from which these devices run is turned
off/restarted, the computer seems to forget these devices
exist - you have to turn them off/on once the computer has
rebooted and then it finds the "New Hardware" again... it
then sorts it out and everything works a treat, but i'd
prefer not to have the hassle of doing this everytime I
turn on the computer...
All help is appreciated! Thanks in advance, BJ.
