no permission to access local shared folder

[thosecars82]

Here was the setup that worked for me.

If it is on the local machine you can always just browse to the folder location but I know the need to make it work.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I just check enabling simple file sharing just in case again. But it did not work either.
This win xp pro trouble is driving me mad.
I am quite frustated with this win xp pro failure. I would be really grateful if anybody could connect to my machine to see if they see what apparently is making this fail.
Any other idea?
Thanks

Let me try my other rig vs a VM to double check but that should work just fine.

I bet that should work just fine.
I tell you because, indeed I got it working for half an hour or so yesterday. After half an hour, it stopped working giving this failure. For the time being, I cannot think of the thing that might have changed preventing me from getting access to the shared folder by browsing \\computername\sharedfoldername locally.
Open to any other ideas.
Thanks

Yeah it worked just fine. What happens when you look at the computer via my network places?

does the computer show? Do the shares show? Can you access the shares from other networked computers?

Again thanks a lot for all the advice.

Ok, here is the story. I am telling you this problem because firstly I had a shared folder which could be accessed from other computers in the LAN. Suddenly, the other computers stopped being able to access this folder even though they were showed the folder when browsing \\computername\sharedfolder.
Then I decided to check whether this problem happened as well in the local host of the shared folder. Indeed I saw that browsing \\computername\sharedfolder at the local host also gave and still gives the same result. That is why I decided writing you.



As for your questions:
"does the computer show? " YES
"Do the shares show? " YES
"Can you access the shares from other networked computers?" NO
From other networked computers I get the same error.
It says something about me not having permissions for this network resource. And something about not enough storage in the server to run this command.

Any other idea?
Thanks a lot

Running Norton? If so check this thread. It may help even if you do not run Norton.

"not enough server storage is available to process this command" E

I was excited that this might work, but I tried that and did not work either.
Any other idea?

Turn off your firewall to test if that is the problem.
Check event viewer for errors.

Did you restart the computer after the registry change?

Re: no permission to access local shared folder (SOLVED)

You were right. Solved by doing this:
Antivirus software may cause Event ID 2011
and setting irpstacksize equal to 20.
Thanks for all the help guys.
