Win2000 network share: "The Disk is Full"

Whenever me or my users try to save a file to network
drives on one of my servers, I get told that the disk is
full (or out of memory in Word.) This happens with any
application, apparantly, but my primary concern is with
Excel and Word 2000, plus Crystal Reports.

The Windows 2000 server is new, and I set up the shares'
permissions (I thought) exactly as they were on the
Windows NT server it's replacing. There is over 100G of
free space on the (virtual) drive that all of these shares
are hosted on. In fact, I can copy or move the files to
those network drives through Windows Explorer, and I can
save email attachments from Outlook to the network
drives. For some reason, though, no program can save a
file to them through the "Save As.." dialogue.

I'm sure I missed something when setting up the
permissions, but I can't imagine what. I've checked
everything I know to check to make sure the shares were
setup the same way that other shares that are working
correctly was setup. What am I missing?

I looked this error up in our Internet KB's. It looks like this might be a
Word/Excel problem. In all honesty, I would call in to open a support case
to get this one looked at.

This could be an issue with disk quotas. When users reach
the disk quota they will recieve the standard "Tough Luck
You're out of room" canned response.
