Although I believe a unix server doing smb is more secure than a windows box,
I don't think I would put it on the public internet.
So you've checked that wins traffic can go in both directions across the
router?
Perhaps you need an entry in hosts and/or lmhosts on your client machines
that point to the 66.11.xxx.xxx server. On a windows box the lmhosts file
contains its own documentation.
