Sounds like you don't have the workgroups setup correctly.....you should see
your computer name and the others in your workgroup in the Network
neighborhood window. Under entire network you should see your workgroup and
any others in the domain. Try making the workgroup in the network-properties
of win95 and the smb.conf file the same.
