sharing network? you have to share a network?

What exactly does it mean? I have a computer. should I share a network?

Hi Rhonda-keys,

A network share is a device or piece of information on a computer that is accessed remotely from another computer, usually via a local network or a company Intranet, as if it were a resource in the local computer.

If you have multiple computers and you want to share files or units, you can set up a network and share.

For more information, see the links:

  • Three computers networked fine then suddenly the error message «...» Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "

    I had a network that worked very well with three 2 computers running Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition 1. Suddenly, the network has just stopped allowing certain communications giving the above error message (I have another thread address with XP to Vista computers). The main computer with XP Pro, I'll call A, the second computer with XP Pro, I'll call B and third with XP Home will be C. All computers can share files and printers then without any changes to the system that occurred the following:

    A can access the documents and printers on B and C

    B may NOT have access to documents or printers on one, but access to documents and printers on C

    C cannot have access to the documents on one, but CAN access A printer and CAN access the documents and printers on B

    When access is denied error message is displayed:
    "\\A\My documents 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. "(\\A\ being the computer that I am trying to access)

    As I said access from all computers on this network was working fine a week ago and there has been absolutely no changes made to the network. I checked the following

    1. workgroup name on all computers are the same
    2. file and printer sharing are enabled for all computers.
    3. all computers may been from each computers just denied in some cases.

    The firewall that runs on all three machines is AVG and there were no changes to the one last week, but I checked that sharing is allowed.

    I even tried to run the Configuration Wizard from the network on all computers to see if it works, but the same exact problems occur after doing this.

    I met this problem now THREE times. I can't believe that I'm the only one who has this problem and I can't believe that there isn't a solution for it. None of the Microsoft documentation has even a hint of a solution for this specific problem.

    I need a solution that closes completely the network at my church, and they cannot afford to buy printers and others for each of their computers.

    This error message is misleading. See article Knowledge Base Microsoft Antivirus software may Cause Event ID 2011 for a likely solution, specifying a value of IRPStackSize 15 on A computer.

    Steve,

    Thanks a lot for the link to this article.
    It was most helpful.

    I also found this forum useful post:
    http://www.techsupportforum.com/Networking-Forum/networking-support/114373-cant-map-new-network-drive.html

    In particular, he said to check the event log of the computer that you are trying to connect to (the remote computer) to search for an event ID 2011, which would be entered in the time you finally tried to connect and does not.
    I did alt-click on the icon MY COMPUTER (from the remote computer) and the menu HANDLE, click the EVENT VIEWER folder (in the left pane), and then the SYSTEM folder under that.
    On the right pane, I found an ad for the event ID 2011 at the time wherever I finally tried to connect.

    To test this, I went to the VISTA laptop and tried to connect the computer to Office XP again, which gives a different error message on the VISTA laptop.
    When I went back on the XP desktop I tried to connect to and looked again to the event log, of course ANOTHER event ID 2011 has been registered with the new time of my additional attempt to connect.

    He confirmed that it was likely that the IRPStackSize was the problem, as your proposed article.

    Then I printed article how DO TO SAVE AND RESTORE the REGISTER to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/
    then backed up the registry (both by running a restore system to register and by exporting from the top level of the regedit).

    I then went in regedit on the desktop in XP for the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\LANMANSERVER\Parameters file described in your article.
    There was NOT an entry for IRPStackSize in the right pane, so I followed the instructions in the add - it and change it to decimal 15.
    I rebooted and tried to connect but still got the same error.
    The article said that the default value is 15, so I assumed that adding input IRPStackSize to 15 has not changed anything.

    So I went into regedit and changed the value of IRPStackSize of 15 to 18, restarted and it solved the problem.

    I found that the following articles is also useful in the resolution of this problem (aside from the one you gave):

  • Portege Z30 - do you have a network icon in the taskbar?

    Hi all

    This issue is specifically for users of Toshiba Portege Z30s. Mine does not have a network icon in the task bar, so I was wondering if another application from Toshiba is supposed to manage the network. In addition, it nothing happens when I go to control panel - network and Internet - connection to a network.

    Try the methods below:

    a. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc in the Open box and then click OK.

    b. in the list of Services (Local), click on Security Center and then click Properties.

    Make sure that you stop and start the service, then check if the problem persists.

    2. you can also uninstall and reinstall Norton Security software, and check the results.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished.

  • "You have no preferred wireless networks.

    Hello

    I installed Build 7100 and have been finding problems in all directions. Is it the right place to report issues? The dev team will never receive any comments posted here?

    I have a specific problem that is driving me crazy and if it is not sorted there is no way I will buy Windows 7 when it is released. Whenever I reboot or exit the mode 'sleep' my wireless network was disconnected. The problem is that it automatically reconnect. In fact when I try a reconnection he asks me the password all over again as if she had never met before network. In addition, I have try three or four times before it connects without error. The network is also extremely stable and was under XP.

    The Troubleshoot utility of reports "You have no preferred wireless networks", which is false, because I connect automatically is always checked for this SSID. I tried which allows to 'Connect even if the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID)', but this option is reset after reboot / sleep. "Connect automatically" is still however verified. Installed with the driver is REALTEK USB Wireless LAN Utility Version 402.1470.518.2007.

    I fear that such problems will not get noticed at Microsoft because they are now focusing only on telemetry. I want to buy Windows this time, I don't really, but I won't buy a defective product.

    I connect to the Router 1 billion (BiPAC 7401VGP R3) with a USB (BiPAC 3012 G) wireless network adapter.

    Hi Vargorlopano,

    Thanks for posting on the Forum of answers.

    Some network cards have to be able to save the settings that will put your NIC sleep when Windows goes to sleep.

    You can click Start, type "power options" then right click on the entry that is displayed at the top of the menu and click on "Run as Administrator".
    Your password can be asked to you.
    On the right side of the window, click on "Change plan settings", then click on "change power avancΘs."
    You should see an entry in the list that says 'wireless adapter settings', change it to 'Performance', and click OK.
    Click on save changes.
