Windows 95 had a Server Based Setup feature, allowing IT administrators to remotely host a shared copy of Windows 95 on a file server and allow multiple clients to boot from it via floppy or network card roms. In this video I’ll go over how to setup Windows 95 in a VM, how to get Windows 95 networked and talking to a Windows 2000 file share and other Windows 95 VMs, and finally attempt to network boot via floppy.
