You should download the update to second edition. Download should
be available from microsoft somewhere!!!

I use a peer-to-peer network with 98 without any problems.
You don't really think of your network as having a server .. more
like each computer uses the others files and printers.
I have found no problems at all.
I don't use the network heavily, just to copy a file or two every now
and then, a print a document every other week.
My wife and I used to play lots of 3d shooters on our network
which was lots of fun ... until we ran out of games we could play on
our old computers!
I needed to change some setting in IPX config to get DOS games to run
correctly (something like the protocaol to 802.3 or 802.2??? can't
remember off the top of my head.)
I use thin ethernet cable and so don't need a hub.
I even had a linux box on my network at one stage but for whatever
reason (I can't remember) I stuffed it and now can't get it working :(
