Yep! I got it to work! Had to create a user profile with the same login as one of my Linux box accounts on the Windows '95 machine. For some reason it wouldn't log onto the "microsoft network" as the default user. It only involved copying over all my address books, emails, etc and also setting tweakui to log on automatically at startup on the "network" tab. Thanks to everyone for helping me with my problem! You really came through for me.
