According to his DENY logging, I assumed he started samba with "wins support = yes". As I understood his network topology, he (or she? Don't know what B and office stand for) runs a small network with only one server inside - the samba-firewall-wins-andevenmore server. BTW: What is so awfull in running samba on the one and only server in a small network with a dial-up connection to the internet, wherein this server acts as a firewall too? Thinking of a network with let's say 2 or 3 Win Clients and a dial-up connection, wouldn't it be oversized to run 2 servers or even 3 (DMZ) to provide basic SMTP, samba and masqueraded HTTP/FTP services for this network?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need the broadcast address 200.1.1.255 for the udp ports?
Only if you facilitate bcast announcements. You better use a WINS server (in any LAN).
And I'm not sure if there's any point in pushing broadcasts over routers (isn't it contrary to their design?). Proxy ARP might be an exception, but I consider it a hack. :)
