I have a Linux box doing IP Masquerading for a small home LAN, and want to

Your smb.conf file would probably help a bit. However I've noticed
that windows 9X tends to not "see" network machines at times,
and continues to no notice them. But to be certain that it's not
win9x misbehaving (as usual), check if you can browse the linux
box from the NT machine that you're
First thing, before you assume something is wrong -- try doing a "Find" on
that computer. I've found that Windows 95 (and 98) do weird things and
don't show up in Network Neighborhood -- often for days.
The next thing -- is did you put in a userid and password when you went

We did have Samba running and it was working through NT, but not Win95.
We're using Red Hat Linux 6.0.
Now, it seems we can't see either of our Linux servers through Network
Neighborhood.
What can I check to see what's wrong?
