You'll need 11 network cards, 1 11+ port hub, 12 rj-45 cables. In the control panal under network applet ,Install the network card, Client for Microsoft Networks, TCP/IP, and click file and print sharing button and check the I want to give others access to my files. Under Identification tab make each computer have a different name and they should all have the same workgroup name. Under the TCP/IP properties assign a unique IP address and the same subnet mask for all the computers. ie IP address 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3... and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

However, you cannot have a server based network running win98 only. You have to have some flavor of NT to act as a server.
