One problem we have noticed with Win95 and TCP/IP is that if you are using HostNames
in somecases windows will initially fail with a timeout of about 1 minute then connect
successfully. Did not notice any Networking problems, only seem connect with Apps that
used TCP hostnames (Or was this before we enabled DNS??).
We found that the hostname timeout could be solved by adding the host name and IP
address to the Hosts file on the Win95 machine.

I assume you're using TCP/IP - in which case the client is probably trying
to resolve the machine name to an IP address - hence the dial-up.
LMHosts, Wins, DNS ?
AFAIK Windows will try the above then DialUp then broadcast to the LAN using
NetBIOS - I'm at the edge of my networking knowledge here (correct me
someone if I'm wrong) but I'd make sure you can Ping the Server Name etc as
a place to start - if you can't then you need one of the above forms of name
resolution (Wins is by far the easiest on NT).
