Best Answer: Here is the problem. Even if you find the Windows 95 that supports USB. (There is a version that supports USB). The device which you buy does not have the drivers for windows 95. I understand that you want to keep computer but seriously there is not hardware or software to support your operating system and hardware configurations. Best advise I could give you is to save at least $800 and get yourself and laptop. 99% of all laptops comes with a wireless card built into the laptop. - rickytomo2000

If your computer has a CAT5 (RJ45) connection, you can use a wireless bridge. They can be B/G and N compatible depending on which one you buy. Here is an example, but if you look at any large electronic store they should have lots of different kinds. http://reviews.cnet.com/wireless-access-points/wet54g-wireless-g-ethernet/4505-3265_7-30460920.html - NH

Possibly, you need the right kind of receiver. There's a type of receiver that can plug in to your ethernet port as opposed to your USB port. - coolanswerer

Sorry, Windows 95, no matter which version, is not compatible with USB. Even earlier editions of Windows 98 were a bit patchy with them. - David M
