Probably the best solution is to have a WINS server on the client
side of your network, but in a pinch--try using an LMHOSTS file
on the clients.  As I recall, Windoze95 has a LMHOSTS.SAM(ple)
in \windows, which has some examples and you can rename to
\windows\lmhosts.

I don't think they will be able to browse the server that
way, but they will be able to print to \\remoteserver\printer.
