This may not be related, but make sure you have the latest
drivers on problems like this - I've had old 3Com905
original Windows drivers refuse to browse properly, and the
new ones do fine.  There might be something very significant
that got updated in Win95 PPP-TCP/IP code in later service
packs and releases.
