Sussed at last! The W98se boxes were using Netbeui protocol,

the old W95 machine temporarily again. Now why didn't I figure
that earlier?

TCP/IP....

You may find that you will need to update the TCP/IP Stack
(the Winsock stuff), on an early w95 Installation.

There are lots of Articles on the M$KB (micro$oft Knowledge Base)
about getting TCP/IP & Winsock to work properly in w95, try these...
