I´ll try, but I´m not a samba-expert too.

You cannot browse... but you can see? Where can you see the linux-box?
In Search->Computer?

ACCESS is done by <smbd>, whereas BROWSING is done by <nmbd>. What does
your log.nmb and your log.smb say (located somewhere in ../var/..)?

On my Unix-system, there was no r/w permission on
./var/locks/browse.dat, so browsing failed...

First let´s make step by step:
What version of Linux are you using?
What version/distribution of samba are you using?
What´s in your smb.conf file?
Are you using plaintext or encrypted passwords on your win9x clients?
Have you increased the debug level in your smb.conf (log level=11 in
your global section) and what does your log files say when
browsing/accessing the shares?
