windows xp to 98 network problems

[flowetry]

I'm in the process of networking four computers in my home
to be able to share an internet connection as well a
printer and to allow file transfering. Three of the
computers are desktops and have windows 98 second edition.
One is a laptop with Windows XP. While running the Network
Connection Wizard I read that I needed to run this program
on all other computers on the network. Being that they
have Windows 98, this program is not available. Oh, and
also, to make the problem a little more interesting, there
is no floppy disk drive or CD-R drive on the laptop so a
temporary disk is not able to be made. How can I link them?

What kind of Internet connection do you have or will you get?
