You'll have to be a little more specific by what you mean that you purchased an old HP networking....
ie. An old HP networking what??? Yes you can set up a network without a server, it's called Peer-To-Peer networking, and yes you can network w98, and Xp togother...

First off, use the EDIT button at the bottom of your posts to make changes or add to a previous post instead of making several new posts.
If your network is only for file sharing, then that device will probably work. However, if you want to share an internet connection like DSL or Broadband, you'll need a router instead. And yes, you can network computers using different operating systems such as you describe.

That is an old half duplex 10 megabit hub - filesharing is going to be VERY slow with it.
