I have a 500GB external USB 2 drive on my system and just tried sharing it
on the network. No problems encountered. The two computers involved both are
running Windows XP Pro with SP2 and all update patches. Don't know what is
causing your problem, but it is not the size of disk since my setup sounds
similar to yours. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck.

I get the error message "insufficient band width" (or maybe it was
"insufficient resources"), every time I try to access either of the two 500
GB USB2 hard drives *over* my home network.
