Running Win98SE on HP650 with 512MB Ram and 20G free on HD. It is in a
network environment with a Win2K machine and a Win XP Home machine.
Trouble is--Win98SE machine sees the WinXP Home machine but not the Win2K
machine. When the Win98Se machine tries to connect to Win2K machine I get
error message, Not enough memory is available. Quit some programs.

This happened about a year ago and I was able to change a memory setting or
something like that to resolve the connection issue, but I can't find the
"how to" to fix it this time. This is real frustrating, any and all help
appreciated.

See tip #10 at www.careyholzman.com/netfixes.htm

(believe it or not, the fix is NOT for the 98 machine, but the one you are
trying to connect to)

Kudos Carey,
I edited registry on Win2K machine and changed value to 0, then I could log
on and map network drive, then I edited and increased value from 14 [which
was original value when I could not log on] to 17 [one of the websites
suggested increasing value by 3] and was still able to log on as well.

Does either a 0 or 17 value make any difference, is one better than the
other, what exactly does the IRPStackSize have to do with anything? The
values is in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Thanks for the assistance.

IRPStackSize is a number which represents the number of I/O stack locations
that the Server service will reserve for I/O requests.

Glad to hear it helped. Please do me a favor and sign my guestbook at
www.careyholzman.com (the link is in the lower-left corner).

Thanks!
Carey
