Subject: Accessing Win95/98 machines


I have a question people. Any help will be much appreciated.

When a user is logged locally to an NT box. He can access other NT boxes
as well as Win95/98 machines with the run command
\\machine-name\share-name. But if the user is logged to samba, then the
only machines accessible are the NT machines.

The question is: Why is samba refusing to talk to Win95/98 machines that
way? We have Win95/98 machines loggin directly to samba and using samba
shares without problems.

We're using samba-2.0.6 on a solaris 2.6 box.

Is there a way around this?

Please help!

Al.
