An lalternative is to run Samba on the Unix box assuming you have a
C compiler on it. Samba lets a Unix box join a MS Workgroup (WfW3.11,
NT or Win95) and fits in nicely with the MS way.

I'm currently using it between a BSD/OS (BSD Unix) PC  and a Win95 pc.

Claudio,

The DNS server is configured in the network property sheet.  Open the network
property sheet and double click on TCP/IP->(your network adapter).  This will
open the TCP/IP property sheet.  Click on the DNS Configuration tab, enable DNS
and enter the IP address of your DNS server(s).  Click OK and OK and OK to
restart your computer.

If not having the DNS server configured was your problem, this should solve it.

Individual programs should not need to have their own
copy of the DNS server address.  That address should be
kept by the TCP/IP stack.  I use WLPRSPL with Win95 all
the time.  It works very well.
