Having looked at the DNS setup window I must admit that I don't know what to put in the Host and Domain fields. I am not running a DNS server so DNS lookups are done through my ISP. As far as I can remember when I set up the same machine running Linux all I had to do was to add a gateway address line in the network setup. I thought that doing the same for W95 would work.
Does using numerical addresses work?
No!
DNS only controls mapping from domain name to IP address AFAIK. As you can't ping using numerical addresses (e.g 64.28.67.150 for /.), this implies there is a problem between your windows machine and the linux box. What does 'tracert 64.28.67.150' from your windows box output?
