sorry guys, i was off on an installation spree, did fifteen linux
installations using the PCQ RHL for different clients in the last three days
[these guys think than I am an expert :)].

okay
ur are fine, now fire up X windows and run netscape, go to the
edit->preferences->proxies->manual config.
enter the win 95 ip and port items here and save the preferences, now start
browsing.

but u will only be able to use http, some ftp and nothing other than this,
incase u use a linux proxy or ipforwarding, then any operation can be done.
even site restriction can be done.
