NT network can't browse Samba

An update on this:

the 'smbclient -L omega91' was giving the error because the lmhosts file
contained the IP 0.0.0.0 in it. Removing the IP in the lmhosts file
fixed that error, but the Linxu server still can't see the other network
systems and the Win95 system can't see OR connect to the Linxu server;
i.e. you can't even type '\\OMEGA91' in the Location or Explorer4...
