It may be encrypted passwords. To fix this...

Recently Microsoft introduced some network improvements which made it
impossible to connect to Samba without using encrypted passwords.
There is a way-around for NT4.0 (SP3) by changing a registry entry. This
has been published by Microsoft in their knowledge-base.

With WIN95 OSR2.1 and the vredir patch (vredir.vxd and vnetsup.vxd dated
June, 2nd 1997 or later) the behaviour is very similar to NT with SP3.

If you want WIN95 to work with unencrypted passwords, you have to change
the registry as with NT. However it is a different key to change :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP

Add a new DWORD value named EnablePlainTextPassword and give it a value
of 1. That's it.
