how are the folders shared. if i remember, 98 can only see small names. 8 characters long no spaces when it comes to network sharing.

SO, the pcs with win98 can't see other pcs? Are you able to successfully ping other pcs from those 98 pcs and vice versa? If yes, you may need to enable guest access on those xp machines. Which version of XP does those machine run, Pro or Home?
