Browsing problems in IP masqueraded subnet

[Bokor Dezso]

	Hello there!

First of all I would like to say thank you for your answer. Here you are
my footnotes:

As I already mentioned we have an external NT WINS server outside. That's
all we have, and there can be only one (as in the film Highlander). Due to 
the experimental subject of my subnet I can't ask the users in the
dormitory to change their well working settings to something less
reliable.

Huh... How many machines do I need to set up samba correctly? Why is the
firewall unable to do this job itself? It takes place in both sides,
doesn't it?

Actually I'm not a computer dealer, I have only one for this purpose, and
it is the firewall. As you have already seen, it is configured to sync and
collate browse lists between the subnet and the outer one.

> Even NT can't do some of the stuff samba can...

I'm assured it is right... But I would like to take advantage of the
existing infrastructure... ;) 
Anyway I kindly accept any further suggestions.

	Thanks for your help.
