[Samba] Serving Samba through a Firewall

[Gilbert C Healton]

B
I have been trying to do something like this as well. From what I have
been reading a WINS server might do the trick, but the network in
question does NOT have a WINS server.  I configured Samba to be a WINS
server (via swat), but the clients still do not browse across the
NAT/Firewall system.  I have already opened the ports to the outside
world.
