[Samba] Sending "fake" ip address to WINS server when advertising?

Hi all: I've got a Linux box behind a linksys stand-alone NAT. Currently
I have port-forwarding turned on so it is actually possible to connect
to my samba shares using my IP address.
We use a WINS server, but of course if I tell samba about the WINS
server it advertises itself as 192.168.1.3 (the behind-the-NAT address).
This won't allow others to connect from outside the NAT though. Is there
any way to make samba send my NAT's external IP to the WINS server
instead of the private IP used by the actual machine? I've looked
through the docs and searched via google, but so far have not been able
to figure it out. :(
Thanks! (If you wouldn't mind, please CC me on replies as I don't
subscribe. But I also will check the list archive, so no biggie.)
