Arghhh... I pulled my hair out about a year and a half ago on the same
problem.  You have to turn off in the registry of the Win95 computer netbios
name resolution via DNS.  You are also probably seeing diald act up when you
boot your 95 box, as it queries some really unusual DNS names based on your
domain information.

I Don't know the exact key name, but any good Win95 networking docs should
have the key listed.  You should also set up DNS caching.

Hope that helps.
