Browsing with Win95

I've downloaded samba-1.9.18p1.tar.gz and installed it on Solaris
2.5.1.  The testparm and smbclient commands run as expected on the Samba
server.  I am able to see the server from our NT and Win95 machines. 
When I try to browse the shared directory I have a problem.  The NT
machines traverse the directory tree with no problems, but the 95
machines can not get past the root shared directory.

Say /tmp is shared then 95 could not go to /tmp/next, but NT will go
into the directory with no problems.  I get a message saying the
directory doesn't exist.

The 95 machines do not log into any domain, but when I was running Samba
1.9.16p9 this was never a problem.  I included the smb.conf file.  By
the way, the printers work fine.

In further tries I found that if I removed "case sensative=yes" line in
smb.conf then the Win95 machines can browse correctly.  I need the case
sensitivity because of backups.  So what is the problem here?

Any suggestions would be geatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
