You need to use the floppy that you make with the XP Pro Setup Wizard and then use that on the 98 computers to start the Network Setup Wizard which should run the file on the floppy then restart the computer and then allow you to finish the Network Setup Wizard. Remember to enable File & Printer Sharing and add the computers to the same workgroup or you may have some problems.

Hi shozii1,
i have included some info on your problem, you might need to down load "MYSQL" from Microsoft web site. (down load "MYSQL" onto your win98 boxes.

MORE INFORMATION
The "SQL Server does not exist or access denied" message does not indicate the following:
? That the logon process to SQL Server failed.
? That SQL Server does not have the correct permissions to process the query.
? That you cannot use SQL Server authentication because only Windows authentication is permitted.

Potential causes
Server-related causes
If no client computers can connect to the computer that is running SQL Server, there may be a server-side problem.
? SQL Server is not installed on the computer that you specify in the connection string. Verify that SQL Server is actually installed on the computer that you specify in your connection string.
? SQL Server is not started. SQL Server must be running to accept connections.
? SQL Server is not listening on the protocol or port that you are using to connect. The Server Network Utility on the server determines which protocols SQL Server will use and on which TCP/IP ports SQL Server will listen. The Client Network Utility, an MDAC data source name (DSN), or your connection string determines which protocol and port your client uses when it connects.
