hmm. and for a minute there i thought you finally gave up that long
signature... but to be on point, you seem to have two options:
1. start running a packet sniffer and start tracing the negotiation that
goes on there.
2. check with samba's people.
3. search on dejanews.com, power search... (ok, so it's 3 options after
all).
4. (well, 4 options) - pray, pray long enough, until someone else gets
into this problem and solves it.
but in any case, if i were you, i'd try to do this experiment:
take onf of the win95 machines down, and assign its ip address to a win98
machine connected to the same ethernet conection that win95 machine was
connected before. make sure all settings of tcp/ip, and ALL protocols for
both machines are set the same, and then see if the problem persists. you
might begin from there. if this works - your IP address allocation, or
your bridging setup are screwed up. if not - then your win98 setup is
screwed up, or the win98 setup is screwed up, or still your routing is
screwed up somehow (or bridging) and exposing some basic differences
between win98 and win95 machines. a search on dejanews showed up many
people having strange problems networking win98 and win95 machines even
without samba, so....
you could also try to read the letter attached BELOW, and see what they
did. to me it seems like some bad setup that used to work in win95 does
not work any more with win98, and thus needs to be fixed.
