Networking newbie

Install TCP/IP on the laptop. If i remember in 95, right
click on network neighborhood and choose properties. Add -
protocol - tcp/ip.

Probably will need your 95 disk to do this.

That might work, or it might require changing bindings to work.
It is probably safer to remove IPX/SPX on the laptop before
adding TCP/IP, to prevent tripping over multiple protocols.
