Two references.  Both from Novell.

Firstly, you should make sure your file server is up to date.  The
Novell recommended software in support.novell.com/search/patlst.htm
gives a great summary of what versions you should be running.  Support
for some w95 features such as long filenames require that the file
server be patched first.

Secondly there is a windows 95 client FAQ in the novell site which
has link references to a two part web document "windows 95 network
troubleshooting summary".  I have found this a valuable source of
known problems and some solutions for integrating windows 95 and
novell networks (with MS or novell clients).
