I had some problems with the starnet server myself. A few 
suggestions/questions:

0) On win95 and b18, make sure you install Sergey's patch from
    b18-patch/

1) Make sure the win32 server is up: you must see a dialog box saying this
   is a demo, etc... Sometimes it takes 3 attempts for it to come up
   for me. And it may take some time for the client to connect to
   it.

2) Try a simple client first such as xclock or xlogo; make sure you
    have set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

3) Try the MI/X server; it is uggly but has worked more reliably
   for me.

I have tested tetris with the starnet server on my win95, using the
b18 version with Sergey's patch.

  I hope this helps.

      Arlindo.
