[Samba] Samba behind NAT

[Igor]

Hello James,

You're right, I messed it up, that was causing the problem
in the first place.

Now all the Windows XP machines outside of the network are able to
connect to samba server using both \\HOSTNAME and \\IP.
But Windows 2003 server is still only able to use \\IP. :-), but I
will figure it out.

Many thanks!
