First, if I understand you correctly, what you want to do is setup two
computers in different locations and then expose file sharing across the
internet between the two machines?
If the above is true, it's a very bad method to use to share files. You
will be exposing your systems to the entire Internet for all the world to
see/find you.
If you could explain your need in a little more detail we could present a
better solution for you.
Assuming that you are running Windows XP home and Windows 95, both of them
behind NAT routers, your best option is to setup a open-source passive FTP
solution (read that as FREE). SourceForge has a server version of
FileZilla that you can run on the XP box, setup FTP users and
restrictions, and then you only need to expose the FTP ports through your
NAT router on the XP box.
This will let you move files from the 95 box back and forth. I don't think
the server version will let you run it on W95, so you need to have the Wxp
box act as the server and the W95 box will put/fetch files from it.
You can learn more here http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/
I would NEVER expose the file sharing ports directly to the Internet.
