Assuming you are talking about a dual boot machine and wanting access
to your ext2 drives when you are booted into Win95. There is a beta
package called fsdext2 at http://www.yipton.demon.co.uk/ that lets you
mount them read-only. I don't think it has been updated in over a year
though.  The last time I tried it it locked my Win95 machine up hard. 
But other have had better success.  YMMV.

If you want access from win95 to ext2 drives on another machine on a
network then you want the samba suite of packages.
