Not sure what the software disk is that you're referring to. Maybe a network client disc for Windows 98 but that's something that comes from Windows 2000 Server, not XP (AFAIK).

If you create a network share using any Windows product they should all be able to connect to it - 98, 2000, XP, etc. Make sure that "Everyone" has Read or Read/Write access to the share and in the case of XP/2000 make sure the user account has rights at the file level.

Make sure that Guest is enabled (it's disabled by default on XP) otherwise you need to create a user account on 2000 and XP for any user that connects.

Assuming that Guest is active, Everyone has Read access to the share, you're good to go. Oh, don't forget to run the same protocol on all clients (TCP/IP). I would remove IPX and NetBEUI from the 98 machine.
