Unfortunately, Windows 9x doesn't have a feature to share internet connections. You'll have to look into getting a thrid-party product for that.

The link below will give you a list of them if you want to try.

You will need to install a network card in each of the computers. Once installed, you will need to share the internet connection from the win98 machine to the win95 machine. From the win98 machine, double click network neighbourhood icon and then right click the icon that represents your dial up connection. Choose to share this connection, answer a few yeses or click OK and you are set.
Good luck!

If you have a peer network I'll guess you have network cards installed. You can use internet connections sharing "ICS" its simple, you run it on one PC it creates a disk to install whats needed on the other system. Control panel, Add remove Programs and select Windows Components. ICS is part of the Communications settings.

Again when you run ICS it will prompt for a floppy disk. Once the files are copied you run the file on the other PC.

The following article has detailed info and a presentation on how to set it up.

Setting up Internet Connection Sharing

Intended For
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Windows Me
Windows 98

Internet Connection Sharing made its debut in Windows 98 Second Edition, and has been built-in to every successive OS: Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. It allows two or more networked computers to share a single Internet connection, whether it is DSL, ISDN, Cable, T1, satellite, or dial-up.
The problem is that the Internet Connection Sharing Wizards that come with Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows Me don't work very well, and in some cases, can break your existing Internet Connection. The good news is that it's not that hard to set up, as long as you do it properly. Choose one of the following procedures, based on your operating system:

Windows 98 - if you don't have Second Edition, you won't be able to use ICS. You can either upgrade to a more recent version, or use a hardware solution (such as a router). Details on hardware alternatives to ICS are detailed in Windows Me Annoyances, the book.
