samba - Mar 2000 - some win98 machines will see the samba server, others won't.

I am running an NT domain with a Unix Server running samba.  The password
authentication is on the NT box.

Some W98 clients will happily see the samba server, and map a drive to a
share in the login script, other won't.

When the client uses the net use command it returns one of two messages
either:

Error 54: The network is currently busy processing other requests or is out
of resources. Try again later, or verify your network configuration to be
sure that enough network resources are specified.

or

Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be located.
Make sure you are specifying the computer name correctly, or try again later
when the remote computer is available.

It doesn't matter who logs on to the client only they get one of these two
messages.

Hi Anthony

This sound like you are having a WINS problem. I belive that the
machines,
that can see the samba server, and those who can't, are on different
network segments. 
It could also be, that some of the Win98 clients are configured to use a
DNS server, and other are not, can you connect using the fully qualified
domain name?
or, it could be if some win98 clients are not setup for TCP/IP

What do you have in your smb.conf in the global section for the
parameters:

   preferred master ( should be no )
   domain master    ( should be no )
   local master     ( should be Yes )
   wins support     ( should be no )
   wins server      < IP address of your NT DC >
   remote announce  < Local wins servers on other segments >
   allow hosts
