Networking 98 to XP-can't access drives on XP machine

Win 98SE to Win XP Home

Set up a wireless network through a SMC router, XP drives
seen in Network Neighborhood of 98 machine. I can access
the drives of the 98 machine from XP machine. I have all
drives on both machines set for sharing.
When I try to access the drives on the XP machine, I get
an error message saying " 'XP drive name' is not
accessable. Not enough memory is available. Ouit some
programs." 98 machine has 184 megs RAM installed, with
Performance tab showing 80% available. I can access the
internet OK through the wireless router.

Also cannot setup printer on XL machine from the 98
machine, when I try to browse the XP macine's printers,
none are shown even though I set two XP printers up to be
shared.

Searched a lot of knowledge base articles with no luck.
HELP!!!

Thanks in advance for any insights or advice.

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

Make sure that the printers' share names aren't longer than 12
characters. If they are, 98 won't see them.
