Can you ping your win95B machine? &nbsp;Do you have more than one? &nbsp;Be sure your network card is working on the win95B machines. &nbsp;You might try adding the line &quot;lm announce = true&quot; to your /etc/smb.conf file, but I have a win95 box that can find my samba server and I have commented that line. &nbsp;On your win95 machines assuming your TCP/IP network card protocol is installed, in network neighborhood, properties, check your properties for this driver. &nbsp;Under the bindings tab, you should have &quot;Client for Microsoft Networks&quot; and &quot;File and print sharing for Microsoft Networks&quot; checked. &nbsp;If the boxes are not there you will need to install these services.
