Problem with Windows 98SE computer networking with XP computer

I'm new to networking and would appreciate any help I can get on this
problem. I have tried may suggested solutions but nothing has helped so
far.

I have a home network with one XP Pro SP2 (NTFS) computer (called Blackbox)
and one older Win 98SE (FAT32) computer (called Dell) connected through a
router/DSL modem (ActionTec GT704WG gateway) for a wired network.

"ipconfig /all" for the XP computer is:
Windows IP configuration
Host name: blackbox
Primary Dns Suffix:
Node Type: Unknown
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No
DNS Suffix Search List: domain_not_st.invalid
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix: domain_not_set.invalid
Description: Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T Adapter
Physical Address: 00-18-F3-5F-C7-14
Dhcp Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
IP Address: 192.168.1.64
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers: 192.168.1.1
68.238.64.12
Lease Obtained: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 9:23
Lease Expires: Thursday, June 05, 2008 9:23

"ipconfig /all" for the 98SE computer is:
Windows IP configuration:
Host name: Dell.domain_not_set.invalid (I don't understand - the computer
is called "Dell")
DNS servers: 192.168.1.1
68.238.64.12
Mode Type: Broadcast
NetBIOS scope ID:
IP Routing enabled: No
WINS Proxy enabled: No
NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS: No
Ethernet Adapter:
Description: U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCI NIC TX
Physical address: 00-14-C1-40-B7-D9
DHCP enabled: Yes
IP Address: 192.168.1.66
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
PHCP Server: 192.168.1.1
Primary WINS Server:
Secondary WINS Server:
Lease Obtained: 06 04 08 10:28:21 AM
Lease Expires: 06 05 08 10:28:21 AM

Both computers have firewall and anti-virus software. The 98SE computer
used Kerio while the XP uses Comodo. Both firewalls and both anti-virus
softwares are disabled. The XP computer can only "see" the 98SE computer
with the Kerio firewall disabled (it does not seem to work with a trusted IP
address group of 192.164.1.1 - 192.168.1.255).

Both computers are able to use the internet without trouble.
Both computers can ping the localhost by name and IP address, ping each
other and ping a remote address (e.g., google.com) by name or IP address.
Both computers have several shared folders.
Both computers show the home and individual shared folders in their "Network
Places/Neighborhood" locations.

The XP computer can map the shared folders of the 98SE computer and
browse/read/write to them.
The 98SE computer can NOT view/map/read/write to the shared folders on the
XP. Clicking on a shared folder for the XP machine results in an error
message. The message reads: ""\\Blackbox\<shared folder name> is not
accessible. Not enough memory is available. Quit some programs."
"Blackbox" is the name of the XP computer.

Please help! Using a "one-way" network is not enough. I would appreciate
any/all help/solutions I can get.

The problem could be that an antivirus program has changed an obscure
setting on the XP computer. This Microsoft Knowledge Base article has
a likely solution:

Antivirus Software May Cause Event ID 2011

Thanks very much for the response. I had already seen this KB article and
it seems to not apply to my XP machine. It refers to NAV which I never had
on my machine (not in a million years ) or IBM AV (also never had) and
there is no "IRPStackSize" entry. It does note how to add a value for
IRPStackSize if it is missing but I thought that still applied to those
with NAV. Am I wrong? Should I apply this entry with a value of 15? I
read at http://www.crn.com/white-box/59200376 that this entry was not ever
"required" by NAV but was added by its installation, quoting: "6. Older
versions of Norton Anti-Virus set a value for IRPStacksize in the registry
that is too low for XP. In fact, XP doesn't even need this registry key. If
you have it in your registry, thankSymantec (NSDQ: SYMC) and then delete it.
If you determine that the XP registry has this unneeded entry, check this
registry location:...". Is this incorrect?

Any other suggestions?

You're welcome. I'd try the procedure in the KB article. If it
solves the problem, great. If it doesn't, you can undo what you
change. A value of 15 often works.

Thanks again for the quick response. Unfortunately, the addition of the
IPRStackSize dword with a value of 15 did not do any good - I get the same
error message about not enough memory. I'll try increasing the value by 4
for several more attempts but it doesn't look to promising. I would not be
surprise to find it was some registry value that is the problem - but I have
no clue which one . I think the registry is probably the worst part of
any windows system.

Any other ideas or suggestions would be very welcome.

Using IPRStackSize just doesn't work for me so I guess it is only applicable
to systems with NAV. I have removed the addition to the registry.

I have no idea how to get this thing to work but I know it can be done. It
did work once for a short time and I was able to map a shared XP folder.
Unfortunately, for an unrelated reason, I had to use a backup clone of the
XP operating system hard drive partition which was taken before network
setup. I don't know what I did to get it to work that time (it gave the
same error at first) and I am unable to recreate it. I know I never had to
worry about 98SE/XP user accounts, passwords or manual registry changes. I
did disable the firewalls though.
