[plug] samba nmblookup

Hey all,

Having the following problem with a samba server:

# nmblookup machine
querying machine on external interface
querying machine on internal interface
192.168.1.1 machine<00>

I can do a netbios lookup on the internal interface but not the external. I
think this is probably a firewall issue, but i'm not sure which port to open
up to allow netbios queries.

I can map the drives using the external interface if I use
\\machine.curtin.edu.au\ but not \\134.7.xxx.xxx\ or \\machine\

Any ideas? (port 139 for tcp is open already)

Cheers

Carl
