Problem mapping filesystem on Windows95

[Mike Zbiegiel]

This sounds like the system is not able to resolve the WINS address of the
samba server.  Test by using the IP address instead of the samba server
name:

\\IP.TO.SAMBA.SERVER\path

If this works, you know that it cannot find the server in WINS.  Verify that
you're pointing to the right WINS server, or try placing the samba server in
the lmhosts (or is it just hosts, don't recall) file.
