Have to XP Pro machines (named "Mary" and "Joe" for this discussion). C drive
is enabled for sharing on both. Both have same two users with admin priv.
"Joe" can access C at "Mary" via \\Mary\c and all folders and files are
accessible. Trying to access C at "Joe" from "Mary" via \\Joe\c results in
"\\Joe\c is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Not enough server storage is available to process this command."

Have increase IRPStacksize at "Joe"to 12 (max?), and disabled firewall,
still no access. What else should I try?

In Win XP, the max for IRPStackSize is 50 (decimal). Read the NOTE under
"More Information" at KB 177078. Also confirm that you have Event ID
2011 in Event Viewer.
 
Thanks much, increasing the stack to 20 dec took care of it. I still have
some "access denied" issues but will try to figure it out myself first.

Thanks agai, great help!

Hi
If you do not have any more Error message then it is just a matter of
configuring correctly the File Sharing.
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local
traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should
be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.

OK, after solving my original problem by increasing the IRPStackSize to 20
dec., I still have an "access denied" issue. I went back to the drawing board
and here is my current setup:

2 XP Pro machines "A" and "B". "A" is internet gateway, IP address
192.168.0.1, "B" addess 192.168.0.(X). Setting for both machines: simple file
sharing "on", all file folders UNshared, C drives shared with permission to
change files. Users: John Doe on "A", Jane Doe on "B".

Scenario: John Doe has access to all folders on "B" including the "Jane Doe"
folder under the D&S folder of "B", and all of its subfolders. Jane Doe has
acces to all folders on"A", including the "Default User" and "All Users"
folders under the D&S folder of "A", but ACCESS to "John Doe" and its
sub-folder IS DENIED. To make it accessible to Jane Doe I have to
specifically "share" the "John Doe" folder on "A".

Why, with identical set-ups on both machines, does acces to the other
machine user's personal folder only work in one direction and not the other?
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.
