Have desktop connected by cable to Linksys wireless router
and laptop connected by wireless card. Both running XP Pro
SP1. Ran network wizard on desktop first and set up hub
topology. Printer connected to desktop. Desktop can see
share on laptop and open files. Laptop can see share on
desktop, but when access is tried, get an error saying may
not have permission and not enough server memory. Was able
to install printer on laptop. Have tried network trouble
shooter without success. Have cancelled and redone share
without success. Have disabled simple file sharing
interface without success. No firewalls installed on
either. Have searched knowledge base without success. Any
suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

"not enough server memory"...
This error indicates that you are falling foul of the IRPStackSize bug.

The problem is on the machine you are attempting to connect to,
not the machine where you see the error message.

On the computer you are attempting to connect to,
Check the event viewer for an event ID 2011.

Usual fix :
You need to fix a parameter called IRPStackSize

On the computer you are attempting to connect to,
Set the IRPStackSize back to the default (15 ).
Perform the following steps:

1. Start the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services\lanmanserver\parameters.
3. Double-click IRPStackSize
(or if this registry setting doesn't exist,create it of
type DWORD and ensure the case is correct).
4. Change the base to decimal, set the value to 15, and click OK.
5. Reboot the computer.

Norton AV is usual suspect for breaking it.

There's a KB article about this, too.
