Yes, the #20 IS needed. Other MS machines won't connect to the client 
missing the #20 due to the fact it's missing.

The server service _IS_ on.  If I connect this client locally over the 
ethernet with no changes to any services, the #20 appears.  Only over PPTP 
tunnels does it not appear, and I believe it has something to do with the 
way Samba is interpreting interfaces or whatever... Any ideas?
