Ping Win95 box? Samba setup

["Avery, Kevin" <kevin mlc net>]

Hello everyone,
     I am in the process of trying to setup SAMBA on my 5.2 machine. I actually already have it set up according to the step-by-step that I followed. I just could not get it to talk to the Win95 machine that my wife uses. I can not even get it to ping the Win95 box and the Win95 box cannot ping the Linux box. But whenever I boot my Linux box into NT it connects to the Win95 box and I can ping all night. 
     I have looked at a lot of documentation on SAMBA and this is not covered anywhere that I have looked. The 2 machines are connected through a 4 port 10baseT hub and they are the only 2 machines on the network. 

     So my questions are;

Why can I ping between NT and W95, but I cannot ping between RH Linux 5.2 and W95?
How can I fix it?

Thanks,
