I am connecting two computers, hardwired through a router. Am trying to
accomplish a peer to peer connection. The two computers are a laptop
(operating system is Windows XP Home Edition) and PC (operating system is
Windows 2000 Professional). At boot up access to the PC is via user name
and password. The PC Windows 2000 has all the published hot fixes and
Service Pak 4 installed.
The laptop with Windows XP (Version 5.1 with Service Pak 1) operates
correctly. It sees shared folders on the PC, can access them, and it can
read and modify files on the PC. First access to the PC from the laptop is
via the user name and password. Both machines see each other.
The problem is with the PC using Windows 2000 Professional . It can see the
shared folders residing on the laptop. However, cannot open any of the
shared folders on the laptop from the PC. Each attempt results in a two part
error message. The first part says "folder is not accessible;" the second
part is "not enough server storage is available to process the command." I
am not intentionally trying to operate the PC as a server; there is
sufficient space available, so this flag message obviously means something
else..
I doubled checked folder sharing controls and permissions, on both
computers. The Workgroug name on each is the same. Booted the XP machine in
safe mode and verified that "Everyone" is authorized access. So that
"Everyone" in both machines is given unlimited access to shared folders.
Client for Microsoft Networks, Files and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks and Internet Protocol is checked on both computers.
Am running McAfee firewall on each machine; however disabling the firewalls
has no effect. Also made sure the XP ICF firewall was disabled. Not sure how
to check the Win 2K system. It does not appear that how the Netbios flag is
set in Win 2K, thru DCHP or TCIP affects the solution; tried it both ways.
Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks, Morris
