Yes.

Adding ACCEPT rules on top of an ACCEPT policy NEVER makes any difference.

So now set up a Samba Box as a WINS server and configure all of your
windoze boxes to use it. When a router *of any kind* is present in a
windoze network, you must have a WINS server and/or a PDC. From here on
out, you have a windoze network configuration problem -- not a firewall
problem.
