I have an old computer with Windows 95 on it. I would like to be able to access my high-speed internet connection with it. Is it possible to somehow network it with my XP laptop to access the internet?
Question simplified: Can computer A (with Windows 95) connect to computer B (with XP and high-speed internet) to acess the internet?
 
Yes. On the Windows XP machine, right click the internet connection and
choose Properties. Go to the tab Advanced, and check in to share the
connection with computers in you network. Hopefully that will do the trick.
Otherwise try running the network setup wizard. (Windows XP has that built
in, for the old machine that program exists on the Windows XP CD)

There's no "Share internet connection" thingy... And WIN95 doesn't want to connect to the internet...
 
Try running the Internet Connection Wizard.
