It's a kinder, gentler major upgrade; now most questions have adequate 
answers. After testing the HTML with various browsers and a brief 
substantive comment period, I'll declare it version 4.00.950 final (of 
course it will still have problems, but that's life).

The latest HTML version is available at:

  http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/win95netbugs/faq.html
  http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~llurch/win95netbugs/faq.html

A text rendering will be posted to the following newsgroups only (I 
don't see any reason to fill all your mailboxes):

  comp.os.ms-windows.networking.windows,
  comp.os.ms-windows.networking.misc,
  comp.os.ms-windows.networking.tcp-ip,
  comp.os.ms-windows.win95.misc,
  comp.os.ms-windows.win95.setup

If you can't get it for some reason, mail me.
