Internet Sharing from XP to Win 95
Is there a way for me to share my internet connection from the xp to the 95? I tried the network setup wizard but it said and error occured and i could manually configure it.
I just configured (with some help) a network using modems. That question is at:

Yes, though you will need to set up a Local Area Network with either network cards and an 'ethernet' cable, or perhaps a wireless solution. Then you can run the Network wizard on the XP computer, and use the network setup disk it provides to configure the windows 95 computer. You ought to find this easier then the previous problem also!
Hi
Well..previous problem was another case with totally different requirements and it wasnt difficult either, just matter of performing the tasks in a right order.
Now, are you willing to buy a network card for xp and one for win95 for this purpose, as one of the LAN interface will be connected to internet on your xp box (if your internet cable modem connects to LAn card but maybe it connects to USB) and cross over cable depending on the distance of comptuers, but should not exceed 100meters? If yes, follow the link, its very easy to setup windows xp internet connection sharing
here is a description of Internet Connection Sharing in Windows XP:(also contains links for configuring ICS, but you can choose which ever looks easy to follow)

and here is a step by step guide with visauls for ICS sharing on windows XP and client configuration as well
