    Networking of three computers not working.

    Computers:

    1) XP pro, service pack 3, workgroup name: DOMAIN, name=Main

    2) XP pro, service pack 3, workgroup name: DOMAIN, name=Corner(New workstation just built to replace an older one)

    3) Xp Pro, service pack 2, workgroup name: DOMAIN, name=Alcove

    Each computer can ping each other by Name and by IP.

    A Netgear prosafe 5 port Gigabit switch connects them.

    All start as Administrator.

    Printers attached to different ones (usb) can be seen and accessed by each one.

    Internet access not important. When needed, a phone tether is used.

    Modems installed and used in 1 + 2 for fax and dialing out.

    Virus and firewalls off on all.

    A folder was created and shared (Test) on (2) and can not be accessed by 1 or 3. It shows up via workgroup

    computers \ Corner but can not be accessed by 1 or 3.

    An error screen appears:

    \\Corner\Test is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the

    administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

    Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

    1 + 2 can access folders shared on 3.

    My old workstation (2) worked fine.

    Any help and suggestions to resolve this are appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for your response. I do have acronis on both 1 + 2. I increased IRPStacksize on both of them I also changed permissions and simple sharing on both. I can now access most files. Working well.
