Make sure you configured your kernel with the following line uncommented:

options         GATEWAY                 # IP routing

If not, uncomment this line and rebuild your kernel. Also on the client
end, specifically with Win95, make sure that "Use Default Gateway" is
checked in the TCP/IP Settings. If not, you will not be able to make it
past your local host.
