Ohh I wish I had read #10 first! It seems that my anti-virus program (Norton) was somehow blocking my connection to our file server! Does anyone know what I have to disable in Norton to stop it from blocking connections?

Prezado amigo. Efetuei todas as configurações e mesmo assim meu pc não aprece no grupo de trabalho “BAIXADA”. São 2 pcs, ambos nesse grupo de trabalho.
O pc 1, (o “EDUARDO”) não aparece no grupo de trabalho. Enxerga o pc 2 (o “SHIRLEY”), lê e escreve em arquivos desse pc, mas não aparece para o pc 2.

O pc 2, o SHIRLEY, aparece no grupo de trabalho e é enxergado pelos 2 pcs, mas não enxerga o pc 1 e, portanto não lê nem escreve nele.

Uso Zone Alarm e já desativei nos 2 pcs e nada. Afrouxei as diretivas de segurança, deletei os locais de rede e criei novamente. DETALHE: Quando verifico o nome dos pcs e qual o grupo de trabalho, em ambos aparecem: “BAIXADA”. mAS NO PC 1, SE EU MANDAR EXIBR OS PCS DO GRUPO DE TRABALHO, SÓ APARECE O PC2.
Sua ajuda certamente será muito útil. Obrigado!

A related problem to getting network shares working gives the following error message “Err Msg: Not Enough Server Storage Is Available to Process This Command”. I ran into it trying to access files on XP from W7. Microsoft has 1 article on the error (that I could find), article ID: 225782. Their fix is:

“You can increase the IRPStackSize value. You must first add this value to the following key if it is not already present:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Value Name: IRPStackSize, Data Type: DWORD, Default: 0×4
Maximum: 0xC

Increasing this value requires some memory from the non-allocated memory pool, but the impact should not be noticeable.

NOTE: It is not always advisable to set the IRPStackSize value to its maximum of 12. Generally, you should start the value at 4 and work your way up, increasing the value by 1 each time. The problem may still occur if the value is too high.”

The only problem with this fix is that the maximum value is not 12. I believe it is 50. My problem got fixed at 20. Don’t forget to reboot after each change.

Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares

That did it for me … thanks a lot for assisting me with this annoying problem.

have tried everything you mentioned and I still can’t see my system on Anna’s system in the My Network Places and since changing the workgroup on both systems from “Workgroup” to “MSHOME” I can no longer access the files

I have tried everything you mentioned and I still can’t see my system on Anna’s system in the My Network Places and since changing the workgroup on both systems from “Workgroup” to “MSHOME” I can no longer access the files and folders on Anna’s system from mine though I could before the change.
