This is not necessarily true! IP applications under win95 use Nbt (netbios
over TCP/IP) to make socket connections. As for name resolution, the
sequence is: host/lmhost files -> DNS server -> WINS.
This whole scenario works with Maxen. I personally use 5.0Ap5 and it just
works!

Ditto.
You may want to look at routing to your WINS server. Maybe try a static
route. A trace might also help.
