Hi Steffen, 

Sounds like your firewall rules must be (inadvertantly) blocking ports
137-139 on the samba server machine.  double check that they are open, and
will allow traffic in and out.  Are you using static addressing on your
lan?  Is samba binding to the correct interface?

Also, [and I know I risk a few flames here >:-) ] I would advise you to
reconsider running samba on your firewall.  If it is ever breeched, you run
a big risk of exposing lots of Windows stuff to the internet - and that has
got to be a bad thing.

HTH,
Maf.
