Well, the IP address shouldn't be the same as the gateway, it should
be the IP you configured as the fixed IP for the dial-up account.
It might be a problem to have spaces in your options file. Edit to
change '209.41.81.XXX : 209.41.81.XXX' to '209.41.81.XXX:209.41.81.XXX'.
Also, did you see the DNS and WINS ip addresses set properly when you
ran winipcfg?
Also, you may need to configure SAMBA to create "shares". The default
setup may export home directories, but even then you'd only see it
if you logged into Win95 with the same name as your login on the linux
box. One more thing I thought of: You need to check a setting in Win95.
Open up the Network Properties, open up the TCP/IP properties
(or TCP/IP --> Dialup Adapter if you have that), and select the
'Bindings' tab. Make sure that the checkbox for 'Client for Microsoft
Networks' is checked.
