Windows 98 & XP

We have three computers and a "server" on our network.
We're replacing two of the workstations & they will have
the XP operating system. The "server" and the other
computer will have Windows 98. Do we need to upgrade
Windows 98 to XP in order for the system to work
correctly?

There's no need to upgrade 98 to XP. All versions of Windows can
network with each other. I've written a web page that should help you
get everything working:
