One of the more interesting error messages I've run across is one that happened after I reformatted a computer on the network. I tried to connect to the computer using a Windows XP peer-to-peer network connection. It took several seconds before the computer responded with a message stating the Network share was not accessible and the message "not enough server storage is available to process this command."

It turns out this problem was on the newly formatted computer and it was a registry issue. Follow the steps below to open the registry on the computer you cannot connect to and check for possible missing registry key.

   

Not enough server storage is available to process this command

Follow these steps to check for problems on the machine you cannot access.

1) Open the registry editor on the machine you cannot connect to by clicking on Start, Run

2) Type REGEDIT and press Enter

3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following entries

    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    * SYSTEM
    * CurrentControlSet
    * Services
    * Lanmanserver
    * Parameters

4) In the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor look for a key called IRPStackSize

5) If the key exists, double-click on it and increase the decimal value to 15 and click OK. Close the Registry Editor, reboot the computer and try to connect to the network share. If you are still unable to connect follow the above steps again and increase the decimal number for IRPS
