Using IPRStackSize just doesn't work for me so I guess it is only applicable
to systems with NAV. I have removed the addition to the registry.
I have no idea how to get this thing to work but I know it can be done. It
did work once for a short time and I was able to map a shared XP folder.
Unfortunately, for an unrelated reason, I had to use a backup clone of the
XP operating system hard drive partition which was taken before network
setup. I don't know what I did to get it to work that time (it gave the
same error at first) and I am unable to recreate it. I know I never had to
worry about 98SE/XP user accounts, passwords or manual registry changes. I
did disable the firewalls though.
