I am running a home network under Windows 2000. I have
two other machines running WinXP on the network. I have
added an external USB 80g HD and external Zip Drive to one
of the XP machines and I am unable to view them over the
network. I can, however, view the drives from the XP
machine they are connected to. I have shared both new
drives as I have shared all of the other drives and can
see them in Network Neighborhood, but when I try to access
the two new external drives, I receive this error message:

\\servername\drivename is not accessible.
Not enough server storage is available to process this
command.

I am looking for a solution that will allow me to view
these drives from other networked computers.

Thank you!
 
One thing you might want to try is to modify the IRPStackSize

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Look for IRPStackSize

Changed value from Hexidecimal to Decimal. Keep changing the number until
the issue goes away. Add 3 at a time.

If you are running Norton Antivirus, we have had customer report that this
value is lowered during the install.
