Accessing Folders

I have a successful network (almost!). Host is win98se (broadband) and
client is Win XP. ICS established and now working ok in that both are using
the internet/email successfully through the host. I can access the folders
on the host from client but not the other way round. I am told when
attempting to open a folder that -- \\'COMPUTER NAME'\'FOLDER NAME'\ is not
available. Not enough memory is available. Quit some programmes--.

I feel there is just a little something I have not completed. I have
checked that the required folders/files are not 'read only' and they come up
in my network but just will not open.

Any ideas please
FS

there is a fix for the out of memory thing , but alas it escapes me at the
moment ..I'm sure somebody will answer.

win9x to NT/XP try to use standard eight character names for folders...had
the same problem ..eg. changed doc's to docs and I could view the files

This is a known issue with Norton Anti-Virus:

Fred,

If I understand the W98 machine can't see the XP machine. If so you need to
share the folders/drives on the XP machine and allow the 98 to login. This
will get you started anyway.

Hi Don I am trying a few alternatives at the present and adjusting my
IRPStackSize so I will be back later, probably with more queries but
hopefully I can sort it out now
Regards
Fred

Hi Don - Yes its me back again! I thought I had solved the problem and was
happy working away for a couple of hours with all systems go. It did not
last and now I have a very quick competent network, sharing all files and
docs and printers but no way can I connect the client (win xp ) to the
internet for IE/OE. The broadband is running superbly on the host (98se)
but no connection from client. Oh! dear - what now!?

Continuing to make assumptions here but,

Assuming you have a router not just a hub between the modem and the
computers turn off XP's firewall to start with. There are a ton of sites out
there telling you how to setup your network. Here's just one:

Let us how it turns out.
