I have problems accessing some samba shares from win95.

The linux box is a pentium 133 with RH 6.01 Samba 2.05a-12

I can display all the shares using Network neighborhood but on 2,  
 I get a message 'The Network name cannot be found'

Other shares can be accessed OK

I have tried several different combinations of permissions but still
cannot get access

The appropriate parts of smb.conf and Permissions follow

This share I can access OK

[public]
comment = Public access
path = /home/public
public = yes
writeable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
guest ok = yes
available = yes
guest only = no
browseable = yes
only user = no

drwxr-xr-x      6 root        root               4096 Apr 27 22:27 .
drwxr-xr-x    21 root        root               4096 Apr 27 22:30 ..
drwxrwxrwx   2 root       common        4096 Apr 30 18:37 public
drwxr-xr-x      2 root        common       4096 Sep 26  1999 samba
drwx------     10 smbuser  common       4096 Apr 28 06:59 smbuser

These shares I cannot access

[backup]
comment = Backup Directory on linux box
path = /share/backup
public = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0766

[docs]
comment = Docs Directory on linux Box
path = /share/docs
public = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0766

drw-rw-rw-    4 everyone 	common    4096 Apr 27 22:30 .
drwxr-xr-x     21 root     	root            4096 Apr 27 22:30 ..
drwxrwxrwx   3 root        common       4096 Apr 28 19:53 backup
drw-rw-rw-    2 everyone 	common    4096 Apr 30 12:48 docs

If anyone has any ideas why this would be happening please ley me know


Thanks
