Network Shared Drives can be seen but not accessed

I can "see" my two PCs on my net from both sides, but I can establish
links only from the Desktop to the Notebook.

When I set another drive as shared on the desktop, it shows up on My
Network places on the Notebook, but when I click it there, I get
"cannot connect to Drive xxx. You may have no rights to do so ...
The device is not ready"
I also had "not enough server memory". I increased the IRPStacksize to
30, now this message does not come up again but I still have no
connection. The only good think, the Internet connection via the WLAN
router works.

I forgot to mention that I can go through to "Printers and Faxes" on
the desktop but not to folders, drives, or partitions.

Albert,

please have a look at http://www.michna.com/kb/WxNetwork.htm.
Perhaps the chapter "Shared folder name does not appear on
mapped network drive in Windows Explorer" contains the answer.

I should have known better from the start:

The culprit was the Firewall setting of my McAffee Security Center.
After adding My Local Network to the trusted IP-adresses, everything
works as hoped for.
