I had an issue with virtual machines not talking to each other.  I took a production
SBS 2003 server and a production XP client workstation to that same domain and used
Disk2VHD to create virtuals out of them so I could test a migration to SBS 2008 on
a Hyper-V server.  
</p>
            <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1.35em">
From research, it seems like the problem has to do with Symantec Corporate Antivirus.
</p>
            <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1.35em">
I removed Symantec AV from the server and the workstation and the SRV error messages
in the Event logs went away and the machines started communicating.

            <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1.35em">
On the server or local machine you might get this following message in the event
viewer.<br style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px" />
"The server's configuration parameter "irpstacksize" is too small for the server to
use a local device. Please increase the value of this parameter".

One fix that did not seem to fix in my case was:

            <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1.35em">
You'll have to add then following to the local pc's registry.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px" />
- Go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameter<br style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px" />
- There edit the IRPStackSize value to 18 Decimal or 12 Hex.<br style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px" />
- If the value is missing insert a new DWORD Value and name is IRPStackSize as it
is spelled here with upper and lower case.<br style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px" />
- After this you restart the computer and login. You should now be able to access<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-DECORATION: none">shares</a> accross
