Scott,
Here's the instructions for fixing your irpstacksize error. It was taken
from a previous poster, who along with myself had this same problem.

SOLUTION: Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT all
have an IRPStackSize
value that controls how much physical storage space and
RAM are available to
new applications, and some new software installs
incorrectly set this value.
This value ranges from 11 to 20 for XP and from 11 to 15
for Win2K and NT.
If you set this value to less than 11, you'll receive an
error message
indicating that the system doesn't have enough server
storage. As a result,
clients won't be able to access network shares and Event
ID 2011 will appear
in the System log.

To set the IRPStackSize back to the default (15 for XP,
11 for NT), perform
the following steps:

1. Start the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services
\lanmanserver\parameters.
3. Double-click IRPStackSize (or if this registry
setting doesn't exist,
create it of type DWORD and ensure the case is correct).
4. Change the base to decimal, set the value to 11 for
Win2K or NT
or 15 for XP, and click OK.
5. Reboot the computer."

Also from MS:

"In Windows 2000, the default value of IRPStackSize is
15, and the range is
from 11 to 50. In Windows XP, the default value for
IRPStackSize is 15, and
the range is from 11 to 50.
In the Value Data box, type a value that is larger than
the value that is
listed. 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."

This is exactly what I needed! I've been trying to fix the error you
mentioned when trying to share folders for months and it's finally working.
Thank you very much! Scott
