Forwarding Samba through Linux Router

Greetings.

I'll start this off by giving you a diagram of my current network
configuration.  Currently, my network looks like this:

( 10.0.0.x LAN ) <-> Linux Router <-> ( 10.0.1.x LAN ) <-> DSL Router

The problem is that I can't figure out how to get machines on the
10.0.1/ network to see machines on the 10.0.0/ network via Samba.  I
read a news article yesterday that told me to put the following in the
smb.conf on the Linux router.

        interfaces = eth1 eth0 lo
        bind interfaces only = yes

This works fine for allowing the 10.0.0/ machines to see the 10.0.1/
machines.  However, for one reason or another, 10.0.1/ machines cannot
see 10.0.0/ machines.

All the machines on the 10.0.0/ LAN are running Windows, and all the
machines on the 10.0.1/ LAN are running Linux.  Maybe there's a
client-side configuration issue I missed in the 10.0.1/ smb.conf files?

Thanks,
Colin
