No, the linux (samba) box doesn't have to appear in the "network 
neighbourhood", just the two (or more) Windows PCs each one connected with 
his own PPP link to the linux box :

Windows PC1 <-PPP0-> linux box <-PPP1->Windows PC2
10.7.48.2                         10.0.0.1                   10.7.48.3

I just want PC1 to appear in the neighbourhood of PC2 and respectively. The 
linux is the wins server.

But it looks like even for that I need to have 1.6Mbytes of code running in 
addition to the 400k of nmbd...
