Windows 95 connection problem.

I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem that's driving me potty!

I have a network at home of various flavour of Wind*ws and a Mandrake 8.1 
Linux box. After much trial and error, I have set the sytem up so I can log 
on to the network from WIn NT, Win 2k, Win 98 - but, no matter what I try, I 
cannot get a Win 95 machine to connect. I have installed the vrdrupd.exe file 
on the Win 95 machine as that seemed to promise my success, but still no joy. 

I can see the homes and share directory I set up, but I just keep getting 
told I'm entering an incorrect password. I'm using exactly the same 
techniques on my Linux box to set up accounts for all types of Wind*ws 
machines - but the password is still, apparently, invalid when I  enter it on 
the 95 machine. 

Is it something to do with encrypted passwords? 

I have:

 encrypt passwords = yes 

in my smb.conf files.

Please remember, it's *only* Win 95 machines I can't connect (I have tried 
two).

Thanks for your help.

Rob.
