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
