It's OK to run XP's Network Setup Wizard on the Win 98 computer, and
it might get everything to work. Try it and see.
But it isn't necessary, despite what the Wizard tells you, to run XP's
Wizard on other computers. You can make all the Win 98 network
settings manually.
The key to Windows networking is to use the same, single network
protocol on all computers. In almost all cases, TCP/IP is the best
choice.
