Networking / Driver Problem

I have a Windows XP computer and 2 windows 95 computers. I used to have dial
up internet connection and networked my xp computer with one of my W 95
computers with an Ethernet wire and all worked well. I bought and installed
a NETGEAR FA311 network card on the Windows 95 Computer and it connected to
the Ethernet port that came on my W XP computer. I switched to high speed
internet connection with Adelphia cable. I bought a router and want to
connect to the internet by the router and share all files on all computers.
I started making changes to network/device drivers on the W 95 thinking I
could get it to work but have created a mess. My W XP connects fine but my W
95 computer gives the following on boot up:

c:\>c\windows\net start
Invalid value for binding specified

Error loading device driver NDISHLP.SYS

Error 7323: One of more network transport drivers failed to load

c:\>c\windows\lsl.com
Network Link Support Layer v2.14 (941011)

The configuration file used was "c:\WINDOWS\NET.CFG".
Max Boards 4, Max Stacks 4

c:\rem - By Windows 95 Network - c:\windows\net start

What do I do?

I'd remove everything related to networking and start over:

1. Go to Control Panel | Network and remove all network components.

2. Reboot and let Windows 95 detect and install the network card.

3. Go to Control Panel | Network and:

a. Add Client for Microsoft Networks.
b. Add File and Printer Sharing.
c. Add the TCP/IP protocol if it's not present.
d. Remove NetBEUI and IPX/SPX if they're present.
