I have a machine running Debian 2.2 which can be connected to the internet via a modem.
This is part of a small network. One of the other machines on the network can use the above machine as a gateway and connect successfully to web sites using a browser when running Linux.
If the same (secondary) machine is running Windows 95 it cannot connect to any web sites via the Linux gateway machine although the gateway address is set correctly in the network configuration on the secondary machine.
Clearly the '95 machine cannot connect beyond the gateway, but can it connect *to* it? Does pinging it work?
If it does, have you checked that DNS is set up correctly in '95? Does using numerical addresses work?
