Can't Reconnect an External HDD as a Network Drive?????

I just innstalled a cooling pad on a laptop that contains several card reader
ports and USB ports in addition to cooling fans(this is a Dell Inspiron 5100
which is notorious for overheating and cooling pad is required if heavy CPU
stuff is done>)

So I installed the drivers for the card ports, rebooted and found a
reassignment of disk drive letters--not unusual. I connected the cooling pad
through a USB port and turned on the fans and voila! CPU temp started coming
down like a rock in free fall. Great.

I have two external hard drives for storing big files. They are both
accessible to our wireless network here at home and were mapped as network
drives. Soooo---

I reconnected the first drive by enabling file sharing on the network and
then going through the Map Network Drive Wizard--no problem. This drive has
letter (E:) associated with it and connects nicely as a network drive.

I then tried to set up drive (F:) the same way, as I have done
before--nope!! Won't work--I get this error message, for which I haven't a
clue--
******************************************************
The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error
has occurred-

Not enough server storage is available to process this command.
******************************************************

What is this all about? I don't have a server. The (C:) drive is 60
gigabytes and has 47 gigabytes free--basically has Windows, Program, Data
and not much else.

Can anybody help me? It's probably not necessary to map it because I can
see it in My Network Places and it opens when clicked on, but this bugs me
and I don't understand what has happened.

Please bear in mind that I have about average knowledge about Windows,
mostly about applications I'm running, and am not a Registry Mechanic,
MS-DOS, Command Line kind of wizard, but I can follow instructions.

Thank you for your interest and your help.
