Storage Error

[RDOC]

I have a home network of 3 computers of which 2 are on W2k and 1 with XP. I am using Comcast Broadband with a cable modem and a cable router. It has always worked 100% until now. When I try to open a large partition on Computer 1 from Computer 2 I get the following message. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. How do I correct this problem and I don't have a server just the three individual computers.
Actually I can't open the large partitions on Computer 1 from Computer 2 or 3 since I get the same message.
However if I am on Computer 1 I can open them. Everything is accessible from computer 1 except two large partitions but I can open the smaller partitions on Computer 1 from computer two or three.
Thanks

There are a number of things that can initiate this error message.

You might try this:

(I realise its not the same cause as your problem but the solution might work for you).

I also suggest you ensure you are fuly up to date with wndows update.

I have a feeling we have seen this before and there is another reason, again in the registry to do with buffer space but I cannot find the M$ bulletin on it.

I figured out what caused it.I had just installed AVG antivirus on the Windows XP computer. These seems to be a problem with Norton AV also which is in their Knowledge Database. Symantec says increase the size of the IPStackSize. Well I tried that and it didn't help. The size on all of my computers was 1 and the default is 15. So I set them to 15 but didn't help.I uninstalled the AVG and the problem was fixed but left me without the Antivirus. Does this give you any thoughts?

Yes that rings a bell.

This is the M$ notice I was trying to find:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;177078&Product=win2000

Apparently you can increase it to 50.

I seem to remember that a cause is (bad) programs making multiple connections and gobbling up the stack. Maybe you have some dodgy applications running?

I read the note on Nortons site too.

I still don't see why you should have the problem though. I use NAV and never get this problem. I don't know about AVG.

I guess my recommendation would be to check your applications and try NAV.

Thanks for the help much appreciated. I emailed AVG so I see what they say.

How can I tell what applications are good or bad, is there a program that can keep myapplications in check for me?
