(Windows XP sp2) I have my external backup drive (G) shared on our network. It has been accessible from my wife's laptop for years. now when she clicks the icon in My Network, there is a long pause then a pop-up error... "\\User\WD USB 2 (G) is not accessible. You may not have permission to use... Contact admin.... Not enough server storage is available to process this command"... I gave it permission (didn't I?) when I made it "Shared"? what is that ..."Not enough server storage is available to process this command" mean? She has her pc backed up on this drive as well, and we have thousands of photos she would like to access... PS... windows says that the firewall has given it access but I can't see where to verify that...

Ron, Thanks Your post below just resolved my problem. I'm doing a first time for me network setup and had the same symptoms. Have been looking for an answer and found this tonight. The fix worked - I'll sleep tonight.
