The loopback interface is ok. I meant two interfaces for leaving the 
machine (eg. 2 NIC or modem and IRDA)

What's the DUN thing?

But maybe the version of windows95 does count. There are different 
versions of win95. You can identify them by selecting the system tab
from the controlcenter (don't know if they're so in english versions).
There should be a string like 4.00.95*. What is the last character.
Very old versions (4.00.95a) seem to have a buggy TCP driver.
