Browsing / Printing

I'm having trouble getting 2 SAMBA servers set up.  When it was all on
mercury, everything was fine.  Now I cannot browse the Neighborhood nor
mount printers from mercury.

Attached are 2 config files on my two SAMBA servers.  Mercury is intended
to be a print server / name server / Internet gateway / mail server.
Helios is a file server.

Our network is Win95 clients accessing SPARC workstations (mercury &
helios).  Mercury is running Solaris 2.5 & helios is running Solaris 2.6.
Both are running SAMBA v1.9.16.p11.  I am currently adding a WinNT 4.0
client as well.

I've gone through all the steps in the diagnosis.txt and everything seems ok.

>From the Win95 & WinNT client nothing shows up in the neighborhood.

>From the WinNt client:
  net view \\helios         shows all the shares
  net view \\mercury        gives a System error No 5 has occurred.
				  Access denied.

the WinNT has SP3 installed.  I have Loaded the WinNT registry patch per
the winNT.txt document.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

; Configuration file for smbd.
; ============================================================================
; For the format of this file and comprehensive descriptions of all the
; configuration option, please refer to the man page for smb.conf(5).
;
; The following configuration should suit most systems for basic usage and 
; initial testing. It gives all clients access to their home directories and
; allows access to all printers specified in /etc/printcap.
;
; Things you need to check:
; --------------------------
;
; 1: Check the path to your printcap file. If you are using a system that does 
;    not use printcap (eg., Solaris), create a file containing lines of the 
;    form
;
;       printername|printername|printername|
;
;    where each "printername" is the name of a printer you want to provide 
;    access to. Then alter the "printcap =" entry to point to the new file.
;
;    If using Solaris, the following command will generate a suitable printcap
;    file:
;
;       lpc status | grep ":" | sed s/:/\|/ > myprintcap
;
; 2: Make sure the "print command" entry is correct for your system. This 
;    command should submit a file (represented by %s) to a printer 
;    (represented by %p) for printing and should REMOVE the file after 
;    printing.
;  
;    One most systems the default will be OK, as long as you get "printing ="
;    right.
;    
;    It is also a good idea to use an absolute path in the print command
;    as there is no guarantee the search path will be set correctly.
;
; 3: Make sure the "printing =" option is set correctly for your system.
;    Possible values are "sysv", "bsd" or "aix".
;
; 4: Make sure the "lpq command" entry is correct for your system. The default
;    may not work for you.
;
; 5: Make sure that the user specified in "guest account" exists. Typically
;    this will be a user that cannot log in and has minimal privileges.
;    Often the "nobody" account doesn't work (very system dependant).
;
; 6: You should consider the "security =" option. See a full description
;    in the main documentation and the smb.conf(5) manual page
;
; 7: Look at the "hosts allow" option, unless you want everyone on the internet
;    to be able to access your files.
