	Well, there you go... :)

	I haven't played with NT and samba, but the problem might lie in
the passwords that each is using. I believe that some versions of NT use
encrypted passwords, whereas others use plaintext. Win95 uses plaintext
as far as I can remember. If this is the case, you can probably look at
the samba logs and see authentication errors from the Win95 server (as
samba now comes with encryption as a default, methinks...).

	Apart from that, are you sure you have the right access rights
for everything?

	Insert floppy in drive A:, and follow intuition :) sorry haven't
got a clue on this one!

	Regards,
