I have 4 computers on my network, 2 with XP and 2 with WIn 98. I need to convert the XP machines to NTFS so I can store files larger than 4gigs. Will there be any problem accessing the fat32 files on the network with the newly converted NTSF drives? and vise-virsa?

No, no problems. The Win98 boxes will still be able to access the files across the network; ignore the response that says that they won't, it's wrong.
Win98 doesn't support NTFS but that's only on the local machine. Network shares are completely unaffected. Before we upgraded to Win2k & XP several years ago we had thousands of Win9x boxes that accessed shares on servers that were fomatted NTFS.

Nothing other than that any Windows 98 computers won't be able to access them anymore.
