Sorry, I neither can find the mails nor any FAQ about that though
I'm sure I have already written about that problem. Some 95 systems
have weird problems with their Winsock implementation. And Winsock2
is not integral part of 95. But you can download a Winsock2 for 95
at Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/
Please, try this. Hopefully it solves your problem. If not, I can
only suggest upgrading to XP. 95 is actually _that_ crappy. Even
upgrading to 98 would be a help.
Or Linux ;-).
