Win98 and XP Network Problem
Originally I set up a network between a windows 98SE and XP computer using
Simple File Sharing and could read/write files from each computer to the other. I use the Network Setup Wizard on the XP and its created floppy on the 98SE successfully after some effort (don't remember exactly what I had to do on the 98SE). Unfortunately, an unrelated problem on the XP caused me to use a backup clone of the XP operating system. I have been unable to restore a completely working network since. Both computers are connected from network interfaces through ethernet connections to a SDL modem/router. Both computers are connected to the Internet and both work with it fine. Both computers have shared folders defined. Both computers "see" the network (folder icons appear in each computer Network/Network places). Both computers are named (98se is "Dell" and XP is "Blackbox") with no spaces in the names. Both computers are on a network called "Home". I can ping from either computer by name or IP address to the other computer. I have turned off and disabled both file walls. I am able to share 98SE files and folders with the XP (both read and write) and have setup mapped drives for the shared 98SE folders. I can NOT read or write to shard files on the XP from the 98SE. Both computers show shared folders under their respective network screens. When I attempt to read or map a shared XP folder on the 98SE, I get an error message. The message reads: Blackbox\sharedfolder name is not available. There is not enough memory to complete this task. Close some other programs. I have tried many, many different things but nothing works. I have used a user name/password on both machines but that did not help. I have use a primary logon for the 98se of client for microsoft networks but it did not help. Somebody must have had this type of network problem before and found a solution. Please help. I have run out of things to try and have little network experience. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! |

Unfortunately, I have already tried that and it is not the solution. As the KB article states it relates to NAV which I do not have. I did try the change anyway (there was no IRPStackSize in my registry) by adding one. I get the same error message. Although I don't doubt that there may be something wrong in the registry. It just wasn't caused by NAV. Also, the system worked originally and I have always had Avast anti-virus on the machine. The only reference I could find where someone had this type of problem was from an old (2002) Computer.Net site: http://www.computing.net/answers/win...-98/27087.html This appears to be the same problem but there was no resolution to the stated problem. |
