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

"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

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:
