It is not possible for the "PC" to use the Mac's internet connection (ie
OpenTransport) since each "machine" needs a distinct IP address. This means
you can only access the net from whichever OS you prefer at any given time.
Not both simultaneously.

So, if you're already connected via the MacOS then you need to log off and
relogon under Win'95 to get a VPC connection.
