WFW Client can't find SAMBA server

[Bill Horne]

Derek,

Yes, the Win95 machine mounts Samba shares OK, and if I use a 
DOS boot floppy with the M$
Client 3.0 software on it, I can access Samba OK from the Dell 
machine, too.

It seems like a WFW problem, but setting "lm announce = true" 
didn't change anything.  I also put in a "announce as = WfW" 
line, again with no change.

Here's the global section of my smb.conf file: (I used Samba to 
get it to the "Bill" machine while preparing this email).

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from horne.trg.nynex.com (192.168.19.2)

Yeah, but can the win95 machine mount stuff off the samba?  I 
seem to
remember, ever so vaguely, there being something about a bug 
involving the
case of share names on Win3.X systems.
