When tring to access files on a second XP pro computer I get a permission error along with the following: Not enough server storage is available to process this command. Firewall is off, full share to everyone, Pings OK. This only happens in one direction. I had this problem a year ago with another computer and someone posted a registry hack. I hope someone out there know is so I can fix this computer too.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

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 the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
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 of
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.

Antivirus Software May Cause Event ID 2011 (Q177078)

To anyone who reads this. The fix works fine, however note Chucks link. It
may be that the stack size of 15 doesnt do it, in which case just keep
increasing it. The maximum is 50 for WinXP which worked just fine for me. One
other thing, i notice in my registry that i had ...currentcontrolset but
above it were 3 others, Controlset 001, 002, 003. On altering one of those it
also updated the currentcontrolset - i didnt bother checking which one
altered the current one and i have no idea why those others are there. I
worked on the 'just in case' principle and altered (or created) the
IRPStackSize in each.
