Nope. But it has been done under 98 and they're so similar that I'd
bet it works under 95.  I'm including the previous "How to do Jini on
98" below.

Subject:      Run Jini on a single host under Windows 98

Hi,
beginners often want to know how to run Jini on a
single host (not connected to a LAN) under Windows 98.
I've tried the following solution and it works really
good (even the multicast protocols).
Please note: I don't know all the technical terms used
by the Windows OS, cause I've got the german version
of it.
So I've to circumscribe the words I don't know. I hope
it is good enough to 'translate' it in a bit more
practical language.
So try this:
1. Go to the 'steerage' of your system.
1. Go to the Start Menu and select Start | Settings | Control Panel
2. Select the network icon!
   Choose 'identification'. In the textfield 'name'
has to stand your hostname, if not type in.
   choose 'configuration';
2. Double click on the Network Icon.  Click on the "Identification"
tab
        and enter your computer's name in the "Computer name" text
box.
3. Now you have to install a
   'remote data transmission-adaptation' (hope you
understand what I mean)
   -click on 'add';
   -add a 'network-card' (green icon);
   -select - Microsoft and
           - 'remote data transmission-adaption' (I
think it's the first row);
3.  Click on the "Configuration" tab.  Click on the "Add..."
        button, select "Adapter", click on the "Add..." button, then
        select Manufacturer is Microsoft, Network Adapter is "Microsoft
Virtual Private Netowkring Adapter"
4. Install tcp/ip (network-panel)
   -click on 'add';
   -add a protocol;
   -choose - Microsoft;
           - tcp/ip;
4. Clock on "Add
5. Configure the tcp/ip protocol (network-panel)
   -select tcp/ip
   -click on 'attribute'; You'll get a message. Ignore
it and
   -click on 'ok'; Now you'll get a panel 'attributes
of tcp/ip'.
5.a ip-address
   -select 'determine ip-address'
   -type in an ip-address. Note:
      Choose an address of the following format:
169.254.x.y
      This is a so called LINKLOCAL-network address.
Instead of x and y
      place the number that you want, for instance 138
and 252.
   -type in a subnet-mask. Note:
      Subnet-mask has the following format: 255.x.y.z
Instead of x, y, z
      place for instance 255, 0, 0 or any other number
(<256) you want.
5.b WINS-configuration
   -deactivate WINS
5.c DNS-configuration
   -activate DNS
   -In the hosts-textfield has to stand your hostname.
If not type it in.
   -Under 'sequence to search for DNS-server' type
your ip-address and
   -click on 'ok'.
Finally click on 'ok' and restart your pc.
If you'll connect your pc to a network (LAN) later
undo all the things you've done.
If you type in (on the command-line) 'winipcfg' or
'netstat -nr' you'll
see all the changes that you have done befor.
I hope this works for you.
If anyone knows the right terms mail me.

cheers,
Joerg 'Lacki' Lackner
