One way only file sharing

I have two computers on a home network with a Linksys router. One is a desktop running Win XP SP-1, the second is a laptop also running Win XP(SP-2). Both computers can access the web, get and send mail and so on. Within MyNetwork Places both computers "see" each other. I have set up some shared files on each computer. I can use the desktop to map a folder on the laptop with no problems but I can't get it to work the other way. When I try to map one of the shared folders on my desktop to the laptop I get the following error: "The mapped network drive could not be created because of the following error occured: Not enough server storage is available to process this command." I get the same type error if I use Explorer to try to "see" the contents of a shared folder on the desktop. I can see the shared folder by name but if I try to open it the error comes up. Going the other way, i.e. from the desktop computer to the laptop works fine as I can see the shared folders on the laptop and open them, etc. The message makes no sense to me since both systems have several gigabytes of free space.
