How do you not see them?  Do you mean in network neighborhood (ie. using
Microsoft SMB networking)?

Can you ping them?

Is this a TCP/IP gateway?  Is it forwarding between two different subnets?
Are you using IP masquerading?  Have you set up the TCP/IP stack on the
Win95 clients?  

Do you have a WINS server?

Typically, Windows 95 networking (based on the SMB protocol) workgroups can
only do "Netbios name resolution" for computers on the same physical subnet -
unless you have added entries to the LMHOSTS file or entered a value for
a WINS server.  (WINS stands for "Windows Name Server" and it comes with
Windows NT Server).

If you can answer some of the questions, then someone might be able to help.

Cheers,
