And this is why having the exact text of an error message is important. If
you'd told us this in the first place...

From MVP Ron Lowe - 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

I know--in my frustration, I completely forgot to mention the error.
I did what you said, but the error persists. (the key didn't exist, so
I created it).
I looked at the other computers that allow access to the files, and
this key doesn't exist there.

FYI, I don't use Norton. Too much of a system hog.
