Ummm, can you run that by me again?

When a client (Win95) looks for a logon server, it does so in a
domain/workgroup.

Do you mean that both workgroups share the one WINS server?

To really see what is going wrong/on we need to see a trace of the activity
when the clients that fail, fail.

You can get one with tcpdump:

   tcpdump -i ethn -s 1500 -w logon.cap

where ethn is the ethernet device that the workgroup for logons is failing
is on.

Then you can uuencode the file and attach it to a mail message to us.
