Also be sure that the Microsoft NetBEUI protocol is installed. It may not be
installed by default.

VMware Tools
Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see the
manual for your VMware product or follow the appropriate link in the knowledge base
article at www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=340.
Enabling Networking After Installing Windows 95
If networking was disabled at the time you installed Windows 95, you can enable it
after installing the operating system. Shut down Windows 95 and power off the virtual
machine. Add the network adapter to the virtual machine’s configuration, then follow
the instructions below to install the network driver in the Windows 95 guest
operating system.
1. Power on the virtual machine.
2. When Windows 95 reboots, it auto-detects an AMD PCNET Family Ethernet
Adapter (PCI&ISA) and prompts for the Windows 95 CD-ROM to install drivers.
The default Ethernet adapter settings should work fine and do not need to be
changed.
3. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel to view or change network
settings. For example, you may want to add the TCP/IP protocol since Windows
95 does not install it by default.
Enabling Sound in a Windows 95 Guest
VMware GSX Server: The sound device is disabled by default and must be enabled
with the virtual machine control panel (VM > Settings) after the operating system has
been installed. To set up the virtual machine to play sound, see Configuring Sound in
the GSX Server documentation.
