 You have include your /etc/host file in the windows host file
(c:\windows\HOST) by default there is no HOST file in windows but HOST.SAM,
which ou have to rename to HOST

I recomend that you use squid  as cache for the win95 clients and take a look at
samba to share files and preinters with the freebsd box
