I have installed the files needed to network a WinXP and
a Windows98 together. On both computers, they can see
each other. On the WinXP, I can look at the shared
folders on the Win98. However I can't access the files
on the XP on either the XP or the Win98 computer. In
Network Places on the XP, I click on one of the folders
and it gives me the error "\\Gateway\Gateway is not
accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this
server to find out if you have access permissions". It
continues to lines down in the same error and says "Not
enough server storage is available to process this
command." This is just a home network and both users on
the XP are administrators. I'd expect this if I was
trying to look at the XP from the 98 but it also does it
when I look at the XP from the XP.

That error message is very misleading. The problem is probably that
an antivirus program has changed an obscure TCP/IP setting. Please
see this Microsoft Knowledge Base article for a likely solution,
specifying a value of 15 for IRPStackSize on the XP computer:

Antivirus Software May Cause Event ID 2011

Thanks for the reply. I checked it out. The value was
set for "b". I put in the value of 15 and it worked.
Thanks a bunch.
