I'm farly new to IP masquerading, so this is a guess. But it will give you
something to try, at least.
This sounds like a local problem on the W95 box. At a guess, browser or
httpd misconfiguration. Is your browser set up to use a proxy server?
If it isn't a proxy setup on the browser, are you able to ping, etc from
the W95 box using host names or only with IP addresses? If IP addresses
work and not host names, then you have a DNS problem somewhere.
BTW, be aware that some NT servers have turned off ICMP (the protocol on
which ping and traceroute operate) because NT 4 SP3 may be vulnerable to an
ICMP attack. Use a good Unix server like Halcyon.com or Trib.com for ping
tests with hostnames.
Can you use the Linux box's browser to access the Linux box's http server?
If so, how? http://<eth0's ip address>/? http://<127.0.0.1>?
http://<localhost>? http://<hostname>? If all four of those work then
chances are your web server is set up correctly. If so, then try from the
W95 box both by IP address and hostname. Only if both of those work and you
still can't access web servers outside your local net would I suspect an IP
masquerading problem.
I don't know what WinGate or WinRoute are or do, but I guess from the names
that they are IP routing packages. Can you check their configuration files
to see if anything jumps out at you?

Shouldn't you be allowing the W95 box here, not the Linux box? But if
that's what you actually have, how are you able to access the outside world
at all from the W95 box?
