Connecting to router by USB

Hi,
I have two fancy modern computers which connect to the internet through a broadband
modem/router: the BT 2wire HG1800. I spent the whole afternoon at work moving things
around to try and incorporate an old computer into the fun. The old computer has
no ethernet port, but it does have USB. Hence I moved the router over to the old
computer, and plugged everything in and it is all working well.
However, the old computer runs windows 95 and it won't let me install the BT software
to get things up and running - the software says it doesn't support win95. I have
installed the driver for the USB, it is all recognised and apparently working. However,
despite both other computers being connected by ethernet, and everything working
well, I cannot get the internet on this old computer running win95.
I don't really think I should need the BT software to get it running, but using the
internet set-up wizard didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?
I tried configuring the IP address/gateway/DHCP server etc. by copying the settings
from one of the computers that are working, but it didn't work : (
