win95, python, test_socket...crash

[I looked in dejanews, but all the socket queries are way beyond where
I'm stuck.]

I have a win95 machine which is samba'd to a linux box.  I'm trying to
learn to do python on win95 (COM et al).  First step is to get it
running.  py152.exe went ok; then win32all-128.exe.  python,
pythonwin, icons in the explorer all ok.  Able to edit and run simple
hello, worlds.

Then in the interpreter I tried:
  import test.autotest
It ran ok (with lots of skipped optionals), but test_socket crashed
with socket.error "host not found".

Of course this could be a non-python win95 setup issue, but with
tcp/ip running ok (samba, ftp, ping, etc.), I'm wondering if there is
a python-specific issue.  Any ideas?
