Re: Sharing external drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Check IRPStackSize in this location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

If necessary, create the key.

If present, may need to delete the key in registry, reboot and then
re-create with value of 15

Also, go to Tools, View, remove tick from simple file sharing

May need to also run Network Setup Wizard

Setup: Win xp pro sp/2 (freshly updated)
P4 3.2 GB 2gb ram (in all cases)
MyBook wd 500gb ext drive connected via usb2

I'm pretty sure this is a new problem but I have been away for several
mnths so the computers have sat idle but are now brought up to date.

I'm connecting the cited external drive to one P4. Then thru the
sharing mechanism creating a share \\name\name-ext.

Set permissions as on all my shares so that a common user has full
access.

When I attempt to access from another P4 on same home network I get
first a lenthy pause (about a minute) and finally a message with some
boilerplate about permissions but followed by the real error:

\\name\name-ext is not accessable. You might not have permission
to use this network resource.. contact admin blah blah

Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

Anyone here who has run into this before?

I don't think the first part of the error means much since the share
is setup exactly as all other shares with the same permissions and all
other shares are accessable.
