This is not a routing issue; rather it is a smb configuration
issue. For shares to be visible accross subnets, your browse master must
be set up to handle it. (Browsing is broadcast based.)
In order for this to work, your linux box must be the browse master,
since it is the only computer capable of broadcasting to both subnets. So
set the "os level" really high: 255. Also set "preferred master=yes" to
force elections. (You also need "local master=yes", but that is the
default)
Next, smb must be configured to speak to both subnets. Do this with
"domain master=yes" and "interfaces=192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24".
For more information, man smb.conf.
Lastly, don't forget to make sure the Win95 boxes are set up correctly.
They have to have TCP/IP installed and configured (yours should be fine if
smbmount works) and make sure the workgroup names match. Make sure no
name violates the old DOS 8.3 naming rules.

Alas, samba browsing is broadcast based, and broadcasts will not be
forwarded between subnets. You need a "bridge" to join networks in that
fashion.
