I had a fully functional network set-up in my house. I
could access all drives on the desktop (2 harddrives and
a USB drive), and vice versa access from the deskop the
drive on my laptop.

I had a problem with XP on my desktop so I reinstalled
XP, and I cannot access the USB drive now. I did get it
to work for a day, when I reinstalled XP with the USB
drive plugged in, but now a couple of days later, it
isn't working anymore.

It gives me an error saying "not enough server memory
available"

Any ideas??

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 computer that connects directly to the USB drive:
