I have three computers on a network. One has XP Pro, tne others have XP Home.
All have sp 3. I can access both XP Home computers from XP Pro, but I
cannot access XP Pro from either xp home computers. I can also access either
xp home from the other xp home.
I can ping all computers from each other and local ping. I can see all
shared folders on each machine.
I have all fire walls disabled.
I get the folling message when trying to access xp pro
"computer" is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network recource. Contact......
Not enough server storage is available to process this command.
I have increased the Stack size in the xp pro to 15.
Everyone is listed as access to these folders under security.
Use simple file sharing is not chesked on xp pro, but is not visible on xp
home so I assume it is using simple file sharing.
I have read most of the suggestions on this board and others and nothing
seems to work. What am I doing wrong?

This seems contradicted by your statement that you can't access the XP
Pro box --> "I can see all shared folders on each machine."

Keep increasing IRPStackSize [mine is 0x15 = 21 decimal]

From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177078

6. If you created the IRPStackSize value using the procedure
described in step 4, the default value is 15. It is recommended that you
increase the value by 3. Therefore, if the previous value was 11, type
14, and then click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Restart the computer.

If the problem persists after you complete the preceding procedure, try
to increase the value of IRPStackSize even more.

In Windows XP, the default value for IRPStackSize is 15, and the range
is from 11 to 50 [decimal].

Also, confirm that you have at least one account on all 3 computers that
has the same name and password.

Increasing stack size solved the problem.
Thanks
