Last time I checked, it would be the same as any old network, I have never needed to do anything special when I had a network with win98 computers on it.

 

I'm guessing you're using something like a switch or a hub to connect all the computers to a router right? I don't exactly get what you want... do you want the 98 machines to access the data on all the XP machines and the XP machines access the data on the 98 machines, which you're having trouble doing? Or can't you get the 98 machine on the network?

 

Setting up a network on windows 98 isn't as user friendly as XP, but the protocols are the same.

As Trevelyan said, what exactly do you want helpwith?

Do you have a central server too?

You probably want to set up an IP address, if manually you can simply do that in control panel and network settings.
