Default XP Networking problem

Mike,

I did some further digging in this forum and found a thread on 8/5 that
seems to have solved my problem. The server storage issue appears to be
related to the IRPStackSize value in the Registry. KB177078 explains how to
access the registry to change or create this value. I had to create it. The
article implied the created DWORD would have a default decimal value of 15,
but mine was blank. I tried 15, which didn't work, so followed their advice
and bumped it by 3, up to 18. I don't know if it will still be working the
next time I fire up both computers, but after that change the message no
longer appeared and I was granted access to the shared files on the XP Pro
computer.

Good luck!

Dave

Hi
Hi
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local
traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should
be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.

I have lived with this problem for a long time, and figured it would never
be
resolved, until, that is ,I found this forum, so hopefully dsomeone can
help.

1 Desktop connected to the wirelss router via its USB port
1 Lap Top connected to the same router wirelessly.

All good. As stand alone machines they do everything that they should as
such.

However........I cannot get them to communicate and share access with each
other.

On the Laptop I can 'see' the desktop in 'my computer', but it tells me I
dont have permission to access it. Likewise the external Hard Drives
connected to the desktop appear on the laptop 'my computer' but are
inaccesible.

On the Desktop PC , I cannot see the Laptop or any of the external Hard
Drives connected to it in 'my computer'.

I hope this is a clear and concise summary of the problems, I am happy to
give more details if I am told what to give, and any suggestions as to
what
is going on would be appreciated.
Thanks.
