Problem: The network path was not found.

[msnerd]

Hi. I've networked the following two pcs through a Netgear WGT624 router:

desktop:Gigabyte motherboard with onboard Intel Pro/1000 CT nic
Intel P4, 3.2 GHz
Windows XP Pro

notebookell Inspiron 7000
Intel P2, 400MHz (a bit slow running XP, but stable and everything works)
Windows XP Pro
Netgear wireless PC card to wireless router


Problem: I can access the shared files on the notebook from the desktop, but when I try to access the shared files on the desktop from the notebook I get the following error message:

file is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
The network path was not found.


Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mort

. Netbios over TCP/IP set in Internet Options - TCP/IP, Properties, Advanced, WINS tab on both
. Exception made for Netbios traffic through any firewall, including an exception for File and Printer sharing.

Firewalls disabled on both pcs.
Netbios is enabled on both pcs.
File and printer sharing is enabled on both pcs.
Laptop is running WinXP SP1 and desktop is running WinXP SP2.

Other than this problem both machines talk fine including remote desktop and Remote Administrator. The laptop sees directories on the desktop (including changes to sharing), but when I try to access a directory on the desktop I get the following error message:


\\desktop\directory is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.

Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

Thanks again for any help.
