Actually I have the same problem, even if it's unrelated to pptp.
The win9x's seem to never refresh or to do it just once; or maybe it's
samba that does not understand the way win9x machines refresh.
I set up the samba "wins hook" to log all the wins stuff and this
clearly shows in the log.

I tried 
nbtstat -RR
but it does not send a refresh, it seems it just purges the local win9x
cache, so that the samba wins db is unaffected.

Do your win9x clients regularly refresh with samba?
