Also, are your PC's using DHCP? If so, are they set as hybrid nodes?
in dhcpd.conf:
option netbios-node-type 8;
Is your samba set is a WINS server? Windows 95/98 will query for WINS
server before using DNS.
In dhcpd.conf:
option netbios-name-servers <samba server>;
in smb.conf:
wins support = Yes
(you can also point to a Windows WINS server, of you have one).
