Win95, sharing printers and drives

As you can see from your smbclient output, your windoze box (Linda) 
is the master browser (probably not what you want).  Disable the 
browse master stuff on the windoze side (File & Printer Sharing 
properties) and set the samba OS level to 33.  You should also set 
local/domain master (and probably preferred master) to yes.  Then 
do a:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart

from a shell prompt (as root).  You should be in business.

Hope this helps, Steve
