Adrian,
Setting up a wireless LAN, like a wired LAN, between Windows 98 and XP
computers, is pretty straightforward. Do all computers have Internet access?
Connectivity is the first requirement.
Once that's done, setup file sharing. Here are 4 websites with instructions.

For more depth about file sharing in your situation, see the Microsoft white
paper.

There is one detail which the above websites won't mention. Network
Neighborhood (ie, the ability of each computer to "see" the others) is provided
by the browser (this is NOT the program that you surf the web from). The
browsers in Windows 9x (95, 98, ME) don't work well with the browsers for
Windows NT (NT, 2000, XP).

Please let us know if any of these suggestions are of any help. What you learn
may help others in the future, and that's the purpose of these forums.
