Bryan,
Samba is the answer......

Microsoft uses Netbios over some other protocol to communicate shares between machines.
Netbios over TCP/IP,Netbios over IPX/SPX, Netbios over NetBeui

Linux and Samba speak  TCP/IP so I would recommend installing TCP/IP on all of the 
WIN95 machines
as well as netbios....Get rid of the other protocols unless you need them for some 
reason.....( ie...Netbeui, IPX/SPX)

Samba is well documented and easy to configure,  unless you involve NT.    :>

The physical layout of your network wasn't very specific, but unless routers are 
involved, everything should be cake......

Installing  TCP/IP and netbios should solve the Win95 browsing problem, and installing 
Samba will make Linux look just like a Windows box through "Network Neighborhood"
