Hi Akemi,<br><br>Thanks a lot for your very fast response..<br><br>In the meantime I did some more research and found out the reason; the problem was on Win XP side (what else you would expect ? :)..<br><br>I found in the Win XP eventviewer the following error:
<br><br>Error: The server's configuration parameter "irpstacksize" is too small for the server to use a local device. Please, increase the value of this parameter..<br><br>Then I found it by googling that this can be modified using regedit:
<br><br><span id="postmessage_5635">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services \lanmanserver\parameters<br><br>There was actually no IRPStackSize parameter defined on my Windows box at all, so I created a DWORD and set the value to 15, as it was suggested. After a reboot on Win XP side everything started working.
<br><br>thanks,<br>istvan<br><br><br></span><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/17/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Akemi Yagi</b> <<a href="mailto:amyagi@gmail.com">amyagi@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
