No, Windows 95 does not have ICS, but that won't matter.  Since 2000 does,
you only need to enable ICS on the Windows 2000 box, and set up your 95 box
as a DHCP client.

====================
Windows 95 does not  support  Internet Connection Sharing
Consider upgrading, if you absolutely need the feature.

Yes.

Windows 98SE has this feature. Neither original 98 nor 95
does,

However it doesn't matter. You need the feature on the
computer with the modem. None of the other computers sharing
the connection on the network need it, or use it if they
have it.

That's exactly the configuration I have here: a two-computer
network with a Windows 2000 Professional computer with a
modem, using ICS to share a connection with a computer
running Windows 95A.

I use a free program called Proxy to share my internet connection. It is a 
small program available from www.analogx.com, and will run on win95.

The software only needs to run on the machine with the internet connection, 
the other machines only need to have the proxy server address set in internet 
options.

The URL for info and download is
