RE: [OT] windows networking issue
You've probably looked at this already...but...
Have a look in Control Panel / System / Device Manager on the 95 machine and
go Properties on the network card. See if it reports that the network card
is operating correctly. Chech the settings for the card, I/O, IRQ etc.
Windows occasionally gets them wrong !!! Check the driver... is it correct
?
Next try swapping the connection on the hub of the non-gateway linux machine
and the 95/98 machine and test them both to eliminate a faulty hub.
Last resort, try turning off Plug and Pray (Play) and setting the IRQ for
the card manually in the bios and try again.

There may be another way but I usually nab a utility program from the
manufacturer and run a diagnostic on the card. I've mostly worked with
older 3Coms. The utility fits on a bootable windows floppy so it
doesn't matter which operating system your running.
