I have a newtork of two PCs connected through a hub.
My new PC is running Win XP Home Edition and my old PC is running Win98 SR2.
In Win XP, everything seems to work fine, I can copy back and forward and print OK through the network.
In Win98, I can see the new PC in network neighbourhood, and the shared drives it contains, but I cannot connect to the XP drives or map them or print through the network. The only error messages I get are of the form "not enough storage is available to process the command" or "not enough memory is available. Quit some programs" or similar. I have tried closing every program down but to no effect.
Any ideas?

Try using zonealarm 2.6 if it is due to firewall problems. I have it installed on my 2 comps (amd1800 xp and 300mhz 98se). Mine are connected via linksys router and ethernet connectors. Haven't any problems.

i have 2 platform ..my printer server is win 98 and my client is win xp ...i facing problem in print document ...how to print in the printer server(win98) in client(win xp)??
I once fixed this problem, and wish I'd have kept the instructions.
What solved it was changing a registry key - actually, just deleting an entry. Has anyone else seen that advice? Please share details if so. Yes, it's doing that again.
(Server:XPhome; Ethernet; W98 + WXP additional machines cannot open dir's seen on network)

Wow! I have the same problem. I do know that sharing IS enabled on C: drive. Also xp firewall is off. Zonealarm is off. I did read something somewhere about changing a value in the registry for this problem, but it was for win NT.
It was working at one time, however it is not now. I have lots of free memory available.
However, I can access the client (win98) computer from the server (xp). Which is the only way I can share files.
I can not open the shared folder on the xp machine by itself through the 'my network places' But I can from 'my computer'. Strange huh?
Someone help us!!
