Hi,
Win95 has a very early version of Winsock, this can cause problems as you
describe. Try getting the latest version of winsock for Win95, and see if
that helps.
You can get it here:
<A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUNetworkingTools/W95Sockets2/Default.asp">Windows Socket 2 Update : [Windows 95, downloads, download, updates, update,
Windows Sockets 2, TCP/IP stack, Winsock 2]</A>
or the regular URL:

HTH,
Peter Hogan
