Very Computer

I've got a linux machine, Redhat 5.0, running samba.  There are several
Win95 machines which share files with the linux machine.  My problem is
this:  If I go to Network Neighborhood in one of the Win95 machines, I can
see all the other Win95 machines, but not the Linux machine.  But, if I
sit there for a while and hit refresh, the Linux machine eventually shows
up.  Samba seems to work fine in all other respects.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can try what I do. Use right click on Network Neighborhood. Do Map
Network drive and select Linux machine(s). This puts them into My Computer.
Be sure to select "remount on boot up". Now Linux is always visible and
usable when 95 machines come up (if Linux is alive).
Assuming the network has been up for 3 minutes or more, you can usually
select view and refresh in Network Neighborhood and Linux will show up.
