I am running wireless networt on XP HOME. There are four
computers. All have internet access so the connection is
good. My desktop can network with all the others, but
none of the others can network with my desktop. The
desktop shows up in Network Places, but message CANNOT
ACCESS NETWORK. NOT ENOUGH SERVER STORAGE. SPEAK TO
ADMINISTRATOR appears. THis is making me nuts.
I have tried disabling Norton Security, I have tried
Microsoft Knowledge Base, but nothing helps. Any ideas
will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

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)

Thank you for this post - I had been hitting my head on
this one until you pointed this fix out - I do have
Norton AV and this was probably the culprit...

THanks again
