Vista - File sharing - XP to vista

After adjusting my Norton security settings I can now access my Vista laptop
from my old XP machine, no problems. However in reverse when I try to access
the old XP machine discs from Vista Ultimate laptop I get the message "Not
enough server storage is available to process the command" - on any disk.
Strangely however I can see the deafult sharedDocs directories which I guess
are on the system disc... Anyi deas please!

The issue is caused by Norton and is on the XP machine. See:

This error indicates that you are falling foul of the IRPStackSize bug.
The problem is on the machine you are attempting to connect to, not the
machine where you see the error message. On the computer you are
attempting to connect to (XP), check the event viewer for an event ID 2011.

Usual fix : You need to fix a parameter called IRPStackSize

On the computer you are attempting to connect to, Set the IRPStackSize
back to the default (15 ). Perform the following steps:

1. Start regedit.
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 with type DWORD and ensure the case is correct).
4. Change the base to decimal, set the value to 15, and click OK.
5. Reboot the computer.

Norton AV is usual suspect for breaking it. There's a KB article about
this, too:

Could this also be caused by McAfee, since I am having the same problem.
