You can ping this Linux box from the Win9x station right? If not hardware
problem, either between the two or one or the others network card. Make sure
the IP/MASK settings are kosher.
Make sure that they are on the same workgroup, with 'workgroup = MYGROUP'
command in smb.conf file. Try assigning a 'netbios name = samba' string,
also make sure the 'interfaces = [nic ip address]/[nic ip mask]', also setup
a WINS server. You can set samba to be a WINS server simply by setting the
'wins support = yes' in smb.conf, also tell all the workstations (win9x,
win3.x, nt) where to find the WINS server.
My two cents, stuff that got me the first time around.
