You are right ! m/c's across routers cannot be seen in the network
neighbourhood. are you sure that these m/c's are on different segments as
well as on different IP network.
what i mean to say is that  the same segment could be carrying different IP
networks; inthis case all your win 95 systems across the ip networks would
be visible.

r u running WINS and also logging on to one PDC ???

hoping you'll get a few hints as to where the problem could lie.
