George, With Win95 OSR2 Microsoft changed the way they handle SMB passwords. OSR2 and later , Win98, NT SP3 and such refuse to connect to SMB servers that do not support password encryption. There a couple of ways to handle this by either enabling password encryption in Samba or disabling the OSR2 behavior in Win95/Win98. Suggest you check <A HREF="http://us1.samba.org.samba/docs/FAQ/#24"><A HREF="http://us1.samba.org.samba/docs/FAQ/#24</A">http://us1.samba.org.samba/docs/FAQ/#24</A</A>> or see ENCRYPTION.txt and Win95.txt in the samba docs.

Weirdness!

I have a Linux fileserver (named hawaii) connected to a gateway (named oahu) with three Win95 clients (lanai, maui, and julie). All Win95 computers are configured the same (IPX, TCP/IP, and client for Microsoft networks). hawaii has a printer attached and it has a hard drive and CD-ROM shared using samba. maui and lanai see the samba shares just fine. It works just like the books (Linux Network Toolkit & SuSE installation book) say it's supposed to. julie cannot see hawaii, but sees the other two computers (lanai & maui) just fine.

julie runs Win95 OSR2. maui & lanai run Win95 (no SR applied). All computers access the Internet just fine. All Win95 computers access each others shares just fine.

Any ideas on why julie can't see hawaii?

Is she running win98 , if so you need to set the registry to use unencrypted passwords. there is a doc on the suse sight that will take you throgh this step by step.
