Have you created the 'Hosts' file on the Win95 PC? Create a file in the \Windows directory called 'Hosts' In this file put: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.test.net 192.168.1.1 spiral.test.net spiral 192.168.1.2 test1.test.net test1 196.7.74.84 spyral.iafrica.com spyral You should also have set up Win95 TCP/IP with 192.168.1.1 as your Gateway, and your ISP's DNS for the DNS.
