I have XP Home on my desktop and it has an external Western Digital USB
attached drive that I have set up as shared on the network. I also have
allowed updates from netowrk users in the share settings. I can see the drive
from my Vista Home Premium laptop, but when I try to access it I get an
error: "drivename" is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this
network resource. Not enough server storage is available to process this
command.
Now I shared the internal C drive on the desktop with the same share
settings and I can access that drive from Vista with no problem. The only
things I can't access on the C drive are documents and settings, WINNT and
other systems folders, whcih is, I assume, as it should be. Otherwise I can
access all the folders and files on the C drive.
I have Norton Internet Security on the desktop and Norton 360 on the laptop,
but my home network is in the trusted group for both firewalls and, since I
can see the drive and can also access the C drive, it doesn't appear to be a
firewall problem, but some kind of permissions problem, and of course I can't
set permissions on the XP Home system.
Can someone explain to me what is wrong? I have been searching for days on
the web for answers, but as yet have not found a pertinent answer.
