I just installed Norton Anti Virus and can’t browse my shared Network?
Windows XP Tips Posted by Shawn DesRochers September 14th, 2007Sometimes you can’t access a Windows XP computer on your local network after installing Norton Anti-Virus.
Now depending on the other computers OS (Operating System) it can be a number of errors that can be related to this issue.
But to examine the errors, logon to your Windows XP computer and examine the “Event Viewer / System log file,” you will probably see the following error.
The server’s configuration parameter “irpstacksize,” is too small for the server to use a local device.
To fix this error, and regain access to your network with out uninstalling Norton, try applying the following registry fix.
- Go to Start -> Run -> and type Regedit
- Use the “+” on the left hand side to navigate to the following.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
- Right click on IRPStackSize and give it a value of 15
- Now reboot your computer and try to access the other computer on your local network.
