Con:
Thanks for your reply...
You know, I enabled dns and I then could not get access via slip (dial-up) so I
disabled it.?? I added it as a gateway and a couple of other places the samba docs
said and it worked and gave me that great It worked intro html file...
So, I guess, I enabled the gateway and wins to my linux box and specified my linux box
ip adddres in my netscape http://192.168 etc... not sure how to give it a name, but
this is ok for now...

In theory, if you have telnet working from your Win95 box to Linux, and
httpd is loaded at boot, you should be able to just point your browser
on Win95 to your linux system. The only tricky things occur when firewalls
and proxy servers are involved. Do you have DNS (name resolution)
established? If yes, let's presume your linux box is called 'linux'
then http://linux/ from your Win95 browser should work. If no DNS or
LMHOSTS file has been configured on your Win95 system, http://ip.ip.ip.ip/
(where ip.ip etc is your Linux box's ip address of course ;-) will do the
trick.
