OK, I found the problem I was having (it was silly) and it has raised
another question.

The Problem was on the Win95 machines:
domain = SAMBA
workgroup = workgroup
WINS = IP of SAMBA server

The Win95 machines only see other win95 machines where workgroup =
workgroup even though the machines are in the SAMBA PDC domain and the
WINS server is setup.  The win95 machines cannot see the samba server in
the neighborhood.  If I set workgroup = SAMBA, then it does.

Are the Win95 machines not really using the WINS server for resolution?
