Sorry, I neither can find the mails nor any FAQ about that though
I'm sure I have already written about that problem.  Some 95 systems
have weird problems with their Winsock implementation.  And Winsock2
is not integral part of 95.  But you can download a Winsock2 for 95
at Microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/

Please, try this.  Hopefully it solves your problem.  If not, I can
only suggest upgrading to XP.  95 is actually _that_ crappy.  Even
upgrading to 98 would be a help.

Or Linux ;-).
