Ok, I just tried using a static IP on the Windows 95 box and things work
just dandy. Thanks! So do you think the problem with the dynamic IP is in
my router or something in Cygwin?

I'm using DHCP and my dynamic IP is 192.168.1.10. Does Cygwin only work
with static IP addresses? I suppose there's a chance that my router isn't
keeping track of client names properly.

You should be able to set the IP in the Preferences Dialog for the network.
Choose the TCP-IP Protocol from the list in the networksettings-panel.
Select Properties and Change the field IP-Adress to 192.168.1.10
