How does it connect to the Internet? A dial-up line? How did you choose an
IP address for the Win95 box?
If you're dialing in to a standard ISP dial-up account, chances are you've
only been allocated one IP address by the ISP. You'll have to run natd on
the FreeBSD box to allow the Win95 machine to connect, so that requests
from Win95 box look like they're coming from the BSD box (which has a
legitimate IP address).
Give us some more details about your specific situation.
