Winsock2 can be problem here.  When winsock2 was released as an optional
package for Windows95, I remember installing then replacing it with Winsock
which shipped with Win95.  Because it
was giving problems on Windows95.

If you uninstall Networking from Control Panel and reinstall it using your
Windows95, Winsock2 will be replaced with Winsock from Win95 CD.  It might
help.  Let us know.
