[SOLVED] not enough server storage

**deweylovem** · 08-20-2008, 08:36 AM

I am using win XP PRO. I have networked my wife's pc and mine with cables thru a linksys router to share pictures. It was working fine, now I can't see my wife's pictures but she can still see mine. The error message I get when trying to access her pictures is "Not enough server storage is available to process this command". I have uninstalled and re- installed my networking services, but this does not help. Any ideas?

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\Servic es\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

Thanks for your help. I had to create the IRPStackSize and tried 15 for the decimal size. This didn't work, so I increased it to 18 and now I can access pictures on my wife's PC. I believe when I installed Acronis Backup software it used some of the IRPstack. Thanks again. This forum is the best!!
