Trying to map a network drive causes server storage space error on XP during

I am trying to map a network drive to which I have access
permissions. Attempt generates an error "Not enough
server storage space available to process your command",
and aborts.

Any ideas how to avoid this? Both the computer I am
using and the one I am trying to map to are running XP
Pro. If I try a similar request in the reverse
direction, it works okay, so the problem seems to be in
the first computer only. Both have current
updates/service packs for XP installed. Both have 512MB
of memory and 40GB of disk space with lots free.

That error message is very misleading. The problem is probably that
an antivirus program has changed an obscure TCP/IP setting. Please
see this Microsoft Knowledge Base article for a likely solution,
specifying a value of 15 for IRPStackSize on the computer that you're
trying to map to.
