XP WorkGroups Networking

[jhutton]

I'm having a problem setting up two XP systems under a WorkGroup.
I used the Network wizard on machine A and then ran it on machine B.
I shared out a folder on the B system and gave it full windows permissions and full NTFS permissions.
I went to My Networks Places and the shared drive was listed and accessible.
I then tried to access it through the WorkGroup (still on machine B) and it said I don’t have permissions or rights.

Summary:
I created the share on B
I accessed it though My Network Places on B
I was not allowed access going to it through the WorkGroup listing on B.

What setting is wrong?

Thanks in advance.

... stated it could not map the drive. Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

That actually is good news because it exposes the underlying problem.

Norton Antivirus is famous for this, but other softwares can cause the issue too.

If IRPStackSize is less than 15, set it to 18; otherwise add at least 4 (not 3) to the current value:

The dword did not exist. I added it the list and gave it a value of 15, rebooted the computer and…. Yes!

Thank you very much for your time and tenacity.

Maybe you can help me with my next post on login credentials over a third party VPN.


Take care,
