Yes, a windows 95 client can be a part of the domain. You will need to
specify the netbios domain name that you want to be a member of in the
network properties of the Windows 95 client. (I havent touched 95 in a very
long time so I cant tell you the exact steps).
I found some steps in a old article for joining a NT domain, the steps are
the same for joining a win2k domain
For Windows 95 or Windows 98
1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then
double-click Network.
2. On the Access Control tab, click Share Level Access Control.
3. On the Identification tab, change the machine name if necessary, and
change the Workgroup field to match the name of the new domain or
workgroup the client is joining.
4. On the Configuration tab, you can remove Client for Microsoft
Networks if this computer is not going to be part of a new Windows
network or if it is not required to log on to a Windows network.
5. If this computer is joining a new domain or workgroup, view the
properties of the Client for Microsoft Networks.
6. If you are logging on to a domain, make sure that option is selected.
7. Fill in the Windows NT Domain field with the name of the new Windows
NT domain you are joining, click OK, and then click OK.
8. You may be prompted for your Windows 95/98 installation media.
9. Restart the computer when you are prompted to do so.
