Cant get network to work in Windows 95

[Orkybash]

I bought a Netgear networking kit to network two computers in mu house together. One's a Windows 98 machine, and it works fine, but one runs Windows 95 and I can't get it to work. I tried to install the drivers, but there were a bunch of files that weren't on the windows 95 disk or on my hard drive. I got them from my windows 98 computer, but it still doesn't work - the network neighborhood icon doesn't show up, and I can't get either computer to see the other. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

It looks like your computer doesn't recognize that you have a nic in your computer. Make sure that it is in all the way.

When you install the drivers on your win95 PC, try searching for the missing files on the driver disk provided with your network kit... I had the same experience when I was trying to install my Linksys drivers on a win95 PC... windows reported files were missing, but ended up they were on the drivers disk itself...

Nope, I know it recognized the card since it said "Windows has detected new hardware bla bla bla..." when I started my computer back up, and the files arent on the driver disk.

I'm using the old Windows 95 (OSR1 I think its called) if that makes a difference.

When all else fails only run netbui. Delete other protocols. Also make sure file and print sharing are enabled.
