Have you created the 'Hosts' file on the Win95 PC?

Create a file in the \Windows directory called 'Hosts'

In this file put:
127.0.0.1       localhost          localhost.test.net
192.168.1.1     spiral.test.net    spiral  
192.168.1.2     test1.test.net     test1   
196.7.74.84     spyral.iafrica.com spyral 

You should also have set up Win95 TCP/IP with 192.168.1.1
as your Gateway, and your ISP's DNS for the DNS.
