More weirdnesses: Now I set my Samba server to share level (no domain
logons, since that wouldn't work). Machines 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 (a
noname and a HP Pavilion Win95 box) can see the server (192.168.1.1), but
it does not even show up in the network neighborhood of 192.168.1.20 (a
Compaq Armada 6500 with Win95). Furthermore, if I try to connect to the
Compaq via smbclient, it gives me a 
        Added interface ip=192.168.1.1
        bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 error connecting to
        192.168.1.20:139 (Connection refused)
        Connection to Traveller failed                 
The two Win95 machines can connect to the Compaq OK and the Linux machine
can ping the Compaq (and vice versa). Looks like a NetBIOS issue, I guess.

Is it a conspiracy by Microsoft to keep us from using Linux in
heterogenous networks or did I just miss something? 
I attached my smb.conf - I hope that's OK (it's not all that big).

Hope you can help me,
