I seem to have a similar problem... I've verified the kernel is configured
to forward and have gone as far as to disable the firewall and set all
policies to accept. I can see the client talk to the server using tcpdump
and can browse/access files on that samba server but when I try to access
any other machines on the remote network tcpdump shows a brodcast attempt
to which there is no reply. Interesting thing is I can ping any machine on
the remote subnet all day long with no errors!

Any ideas?
