unable to establish small LAN connection through a router

I have recently installed a D-link DI-704P router. I have
two computers running W2K and W95. I have had them
connected before through a second ethernet card on the W2K
box. Everything worked fine, i.e., I could see the
internet from both and share files and printer between the
computers. After installing the router I can see the
internet from both and ping each computer from the other.
I have full access to W95 computer from W2K box but not
the other way around. I see that on my LAN configuration
on the W95 box I do not have QoS packet scheduler
installed and I do not know if this is the source of the
trouble nor how to istall the thing. Firewalls are
disabled on both computers.

Although the problem seems to be W95 related I am posting
it here as W95 community is not accessible (I do not know
if just now or it is discontinued).

Will appreciate comments, including where to look for
proper networking configuration.

Thanks, Jan

I have found the source of the problem: working group name
on the W2K computer was not set properly - it was the
default name "Workgroup". After changing it to the proper
name everything works just fine.
