The TIS plug-gw will work if you plug port 139 on the firewall to your server.

Other things are NAT and filtering.

You only need port 139 if you want to get at files. You will need ports 137 and
138 if you want to browse this machine but I would not recommend it.

Just make sure you are aware of what security implications this has for your
company.
