This is my exact setup.  You will first want to make sure your
network is working correctly between Linux and Win95.  See the
Networking-Overview-HOWTO, NET-3-HOWTO and Ethernet-HOWTO.  For the
first item you will want to compile the kernel with IP-Masquerading
support, see IP-Masquerade mini-HOWTO.  For the second and third you
want to install the Samba package.  The Samba team,
http://www.samba.org/, just released v2.0 so you might want to look for
it in the unstable tree of Debian the previous version is 1.9.18p10.
Read all the docs in the /usr/doc/samba directory as well as
SMB-HOWTO.  Have fun.
