If you are trying to access a shared resource on the network and you get this error message, or Event ID: 2011, you may need to adjust the parameter IRPStackSize. If that parameter does not exist, you will need to create it.

I got this tip from ghacks.net and posted it here to make sure the information is available in the event that ghacks.net moves the page causing the link to be invalid. If you would like to go to their site and read it, click here.

The location for the IRPStackSize in the registry is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\ lanmanserver \parameters

For a picture of the location in the registry, click the link

  1. Back up the registry
  2. For Windows XP
  3. Access REGEDIT (The page will open in a separate window)
  4. Double-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  5. Double-click SYSTEM
  6. Double-click CurrentControlSet
  7. Double-click Services
  8. Double-click lanmanserver
  9. Double-click Parameters
  10. If IRPStackSize doesn't exist, do the following
    1. Click Edit
   
    1. Click New
   
    1. Click on
      1. Dword or
      2. Dword32 (if you are on a 64 bit system)
   
    1. Give the Dword the name IRPStackSize
    2. Press Enter
         
  1. Right click IRPStackSize
  2. Click Modify
   
  1. Type 21
  2. Click OK

If you are still having the problem, repeat the steps above and increase IRPStackSize by 3 until the problem goes away. The maximum size for IRPStackSize is 50.
