To properly support Microsoft's SMB protocol, a IP Masq module would need to be
written but there are three viable work-arounds. For more detail, check out

The second solution is to install and configure Samba on the Linux MASQ server. With
Samba running, you can then map your internal Windows File and Print shares onto the
Samba server. Then, you can mount these newly mounted SMB shares to all of your
external clients. Configuring Samba is fully covered in a HOWTO found in a Linux
Documentation Project and in the TrinityOS document as well.
The third solution is to configure a VPN (virtual private network) between the two
Windows machines or between the two networks. This can either be done via the PPTP or
IPSEC VPN solutions. There is a PPTP patch for Linux and also a full IPSEC
implimentation available for both 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels. This solution will probably
be the most reliable and secure method of all three solutions.
