Win95 uses broadcast in order to find machines when you look in the
"network neighborhood". The broadcast must not be getting through
IPMasq (I don't think IPMasq handles UDP at all, but I'm guessing).
On your Win95 machines behind the Linux box, go to their Network
Properties and edit the TCP/IP properties. Enter the IP address of
your NT box on the other side as a WINS server (if it's running the
WINS server). Your users probably won't see the machines on the other
side come up in the network neighborhood, but they will be able to
access the shares by name explicitly.
