[Samba] Samba over VPN

How do the clients get IP addresses?   You could try adding the WINS 
server value to the client ip address (either statically or via DHCP.)  
Then they should be able to get the necessary netbios name info even tho 
they are on a separate subnet.

Why do you have the DC "distant"  from the clients that it supports?
