Windows 95 doesn't come with NFS capability out of the box, nor an FTP
server :-( I take it that you have installed a 3rd party NFS server
product?
You will also need to tell i-zonelap how to resolve the name i-zone. I
suggest just using the IP address, a la ???.???.???.???:/d
If you want to try the FTP alternative, I seem to recall seeing a freely
distributable W95 FTP server in the TUCOWS archive.
