This is a time consuming process that I hate doing.  Here is the quickest sure
way to accomplish the task

1.  Remove the NIC (network interface card) from the System Devices tab.
2.  Shut down
3.  Remove the NIC
4.  Boot computer
5.  Auto detect new hardware.  (Should detect the card and will remove
remnants from registry)
6.  Shut down
7.  Reinstall NIC
8.  Boot computer and Win95 should detect and install NIC, if not run Auto
detect new hardware again.
9.  Hopefully everything works from here on out.

Other things to check.

Workgroup must be the same, same case, everything.
Computer Names must be different.
IP addresses if using must be different (I wouldn't use IP at home it can
cause problems with your internet connection)
IPX installed (a must for the gamer)
Microsoft Client for Windows installed.

Hope this all helps,
