I just installed a home network for 4 PCs using a Linksys
Cable/DSL 4 Port router & DSL line; 3 PC are running Win
98SE, 1 Xp Pro. All PCs see everyone else and the
internet, but when trying to access a shared file on the
Win XP Pro machine from a Win 98SE PC, I get the error
message:
"\\computername\filename is not accessible.
Not enough memory is available. Quit some programs."
A memory check on the Win 98SE PC shows 261 MB with 88%
available. The Win Xp Pro PC has 2 GB memory. The Win Xp
Pro PC is able to access files on any of the 3 Win 98SE
machines OK. All PCs are running Norton Internet security
(firewall & anti-virus SW)
Why me Lord?
Any help gratefully accepted.
Thank you!
Karlis

MVP Steve Winograd has observed that this error can happen with incorrectly
configured antivirus software:
