I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine that all of a sudden won't allow anyone

storage is available to process this command.
There is plenty of space on all the pc's (including the one in quesstion)
that we are trying to map it on.  It doesn't matter that we are
administrators on the domain or local admins.

I did a quick search and found this, apparently usually associated
with Norton AntiVirus.
Definatley not my own knowledge but it made me curious....

This error indicates that you are falling foul of the IRPStackSize
bug.
The problem is on the machine you are attempting to connect to, not
the
machine where you see the error message. On the computer you are
attempting to connect to, check the event viewer for an event ID
2011.

Usual fix : You need to fix a parameter called IRPStackSize

On the computer you are attempting to connect to, Set the
IRPStackSize
back to the default (15 ). Perform the following steps:

1. Start regedit.
2. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver
\parameters.
3. Double-click IRPStackSize (or if this registry setting doesn't
exist, create it with type DWORD and ensure the case is correct).
4. Change the base to decimal, set the value to 15, and click OK.
5. Reboot the computer.

Norton AV is usual suspect for breaking it. There's a KB article
about
this, too:

Antivirus Software May Cause Event ID 2011 (Q177078) -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;177078

hope it helps!
