Just set up samba to be a wins server. In the smb.conf file you have the option "wins support =". Set it to yes and then go into Ethernet properties on the win9x and set them to use a wins server and list the linux box IP as the wins server IP. This should solve any master browser issues as long as the linux box is running in tandem with the others. After implementing this I have never had network neighborhood issues. Make sure you restart samba after the change in smb.conf and restart the M$ boxes.

I have both a windows98 and windowsxp machine that refuse to allow any computer windows or linux to show up in their network places or network neighboorhod. Yet if I do a find computer search they will always show the desired computer and all its shares. I looked on the web and microsoft gives half a dozen reasons why this can happen the top of their list is a never ending master browser war. So far I haven't solved it since the find computer allows you to open the share and copy and paste between the two and printing is not effected it hasn't been worth the time.
