I don't think it's the encrypted passwords problem assuming you've
enabled encrypted passwords in Samba, used smbpasswd, etc...  Older
versions of Win95 used plaintext passwords, which can force you to
disable encryption, but I think NT always encrypts.  I just did get
samba on RH 6.1 talking to Windows 95 with encryption around here
without much of a hitch, though there are a lot of little things to
tweak I guess.  Perhaps if you described what you've done, what's in
smb.conf, what parts of the checklist you've tried, etc..., we could
come up with the answer....
