Ann, 95 has some limits on how long the name can be - that is any share over 13 characters will not show in the browser but you can still map to it. If you can see all stations from a NT machine but not 95 check length and characters in name. Spacesand some other special charaters are not recognized by 95.

Good luck

Appoint a master browser for your network. edit the registry entry of one of your server for a day or 2. Once the browser is populated you can the leave the master browser election to servers on your network.
