W95 client problem

Hi guys
We have two legacy machines on the network that unfortunately have to run Windows95. I've just run the latest updates for SB Server 2003, and now the two W95 machines can't connect to the network.
I'm guessing that there were some Server based Services enabled, that the new updates have over ridden?
No problems with any of the other clients (XP and Vista) just the two Windows 95 machines.
Any ideas other than trashing the two 95 machines (which unfortunately isn't an option)

Can the Win 95 PCs still ping the server (by IP address and host name)? Does the server have it's firewall enabled? One clue may be is Win 95 uses TCP ports 135-139 for RPC services (don't remember which is which) and with Windows 2000 they changed to TCP port 445. Windows 2000 and newer should still be backwards compatible for older clients, but sometimes there can still be problems.
Assume that I already did an Internet search.

They can't connect to the network, or they can't connect to your 2003 Domain?
