Cannot get all network computers to connect.

All computers see the other computers but some fail to connect.

A = Desktop with XP Pro.
B = Desktop with XP Pro
C = Laptop with Vista home premium.

Wireless components are Linksys.

Below are the results when I attempt to connect the computers. All
errors begin with the below message and are followed with the second
message below if they do not connect.


\\**** is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
if you have access permissions.

A to B: No errors. Connects fine.

A to C: Network path not found.

B to A: Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

B to C: Network path not found.

C to A: Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

C to B: No errors. Connects fine.



Can someone give me some tips on what to check, set or change?

Thanks.

Check the irpstacksize on all three systems, to begin with...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/106167

Fix that, and come back with whatever's left...

I had a problem with many computers not being able to fully see each other.
Turned out one computer had McAfee anti virus with firewall and was blocking
windows network. When I configured McAfee to allow windows file sharing,
everyone could see everyone.
 
The IRPStackSize is missing from all three systems. Does it need to be
entered?

You have to add it, if it's not there. And be persistent in setting it, start
small and work upwards until it works.

Added it to all systems and ran the value from min to max. No change.

What's the exact text of the IRPStackSize key / value?

Try again. Look at the exact Key Name (Path), in the registry. Precision
counts.
