XP-98se Network problems

I have two computers networked. One using Windows XP and the other using
Windows 98SE. The XP is using a network card hard wired to a Dell True
Mobile Wireless Router/4Port Switch. The router is connected to a dsl
modem. The 98 Machine is networked using a wireless PCI card. I have no
problems with my internet connection sharing and I can see both systems in
My Network Places.

Both computers use the MSHOME work group name and have individual computer
names. I've shared the "C" drive on both computers and can see both shared
drives on both computers. When I initially set up the networking, I used the
network setup wizard for the xp machine and made a floppy setup disk for the
98 machine. The 98 machine would not complete the wizard. The message read

"Cannot Complete the Network Setup Wizard......The wizard cannot find your
network Hardware" It then listed the possibilities,....."Network cards,
Modems, Cables, Divice Drivers".

I manually set up the network on 98 machine which included: Client For MS
Networks, File & Printer Sharing and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Now I can
access files and folders on the 98 machine from the XP machine but I can't
access anything on XP machine from the 98. When I try, I receive this
message:

\\downstairs\c downstairs is not accessible. Not enough memory is
available. Quit Some Programs.

I had a similar problem like this a while ago, when I was
first setting up my network, with the very same setup you
have described here. Although I never got a memory error
message, I got one that sounds a lot like it. What I did
was I installed the NetBeui protocol on all of the
computers. I read on these forums that it is quite
reliable. Here's the catch: It's unsupported by Windows
XP. If you search the knowledge base for "NetBeui" with
XP as your product, you'll find instructions on how to
install it. As for adding it on the 98 computer, it
sounds like you already know how to add protocols. Try
this and tell me if it works.
