Insufficient memory for networking

I am trying to network my laptop and desktop computers. I
have a good connection bewteen the two and can see the
resources on each (drives etc). I am able to acces the
laptop from the desktop but when I try to acces the
desktop from the laptop I receive an insufficient memory
error from the laptop. This error occurs no mattre how
large the folder is I am trying to accces and no matter
what applicationas are open on the laptop.

Desktop is a dell running windows XP Home edition

Laptop is a toshiba running Windows 98 SE. It is a P II
with 256 RAM

ANy suggestion on what the problem might be?

Thansk for the help

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
