Under network properties on the Win9x boxes, make sure file sharing and 
print sharing is installed and enabled.  On the Linux box, make sure 
Samba (smbd) is running.  By default you should be able to see the Samba 
server in Network Neighborhood.  More than likely you will not be able 
to connect to a Samba share, but you should be able to see the server.  
Let's start with that.
