Yes, ok. That's why I said "Probably nothing wrong with the iptables 
rules". I went on to elaborate that you do need to allow bcast for bcast 
name lookups to work...

Like I said, have a look at the name lookups setup in smb.conf.

What message does smbclient give you ??

Here's a good bcast namelookup:

smbclient //mandingo/mandingo -U mandingo
added interface ip=192.168.0.241 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.250 ( 192.168.0.250 )
Password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.6]
smb: \> exit

This is without /etc/hosts  entry for mandingo host.

What say ?:

nmblookup -B 192.168.0.255 shared1

Cheers, Michael
