[Samba] Netbios over VPN

Hi all,

First of all let me describe my vpn config. I have 3 networks and 1 host 
connected through OpenVPN:

LAN1:
LAN IP: 192.168.0.0
VPN IP TO LAN2: 10.0.0.1
VPN IP TO LAN3: 10.0.1.1
VPN IP TO HOST1: 10.0.2.1

LAN2:
LAN IP: 192.168.1.0
VPN IP TO LAN 1: 10.0.0.2

LAN3:
LAN IP: 192.168.30.0
VPN IP TO LAN 1: 10.0.1.2

HOST1:
VPN IP TO LAN 1: 10.0.2.2

As you can see, all vpn connections are going through a LAN1 server, so 
any traffic between the vpn is routed through this server. The problem 
is that I can access any host on the vpn from everywhere (including 
samba shares) with the IP address but not with the netbios name.
Reverse nmblookup works (nmblookup -A 192.168.0.1) meaning that netbios 
ports are not filtered. As I understand I must have the right settings 
for *remote announce* and *remote browser sync* but don't know which are 
these settings since I tweaked them without any luck. Or maybe there are 
other options that must be configured.

Thanks all for your replies,
Arthur
