Make a network setup disk on the host computer
for use on the client computer. You can do this through
Control Panel. Install the disk on the client computer
using Run in the start menu.

Next open My Network Places on the XP machine and if you
don't see the other computer, click Add a Network Place,
click Next, click Choose another network location, click
Next then click Browse and click down through the
hierarchy from your Workgroup to the client computer. Add
the C: drive first then repeat for any additional drives.

The network setup disk from XP won't run on 95 IIRC. You can still do the
steps manually. The biggest deal for 95 is that you will have to install
TCP/IP if you don't have it already.
