WIN XP Server?

[DWD]

I'm running WIN XP on computer and WIN 98SE on my kids, I
have a router (2Wire) so that they can access the
internet. I was wondering if I can set my computer up
for acting as a server (w/o buying more software) so that
they can access peripherals on my computer(printer) and I
can access their hardrive (monitoring). I would also like
to access their computer if need arises (such as placing
a scanner on their computer because it's cheaper). How
can I do this, if I can.

When I got to part 5 where it talks about adding network
components, espsically the "Client for MS Networks" when
you click on "add" it prompts me for a driver. Is this
driver included in my XP disk
