Can't open shared files on the other computer

[Rene]

I am using a Netgear DG834G Wireless router to network
two home PCs (One PC is running XP Home and the other
2000 professional) plus give a shared internet broadband
connection. The XP firewall is off (router has a
hardware one).

The internet connection works fine but I am unable to
share files between the two PCs, although I can see the
shared file enabled folders from each PC to the other.

The message I get is - "FILENAME is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator.Not enough server storage is
available to process this command"

Any ideas please?

Thanks

That error message is very misleading. The problem is probably that
an antivirus program has changed an obscure TCP/IP setting. Please
see this Microsoft Knowledge Base article for a likely solution,
specifying a value of 15 for IRPStackSize on the "server" computer:

Antivirus Software May Cause Event ID 2011
