Oops. Sorry for the confusion if any due to the 'bridging' word used.

It is a routing firewall using ipchains and doing packet filtering.
The Intranet uses NAT (IP-masquerading) to connect to Internet.

Is this is a firewall issue or something to do with SAMBA?
As I have opened all udp/tcp ports between the two subnets, I wonder what
does firewall have to do in this?

<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> Hi all,
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> 
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> We have a Linux firewall bridging a LAN and the Internet
<jrakers>> (most clients
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> being win9x and NT).
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> There are some machines in the DMZ too.
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> A Linux/SAMBA server is used as the WINS server for both

<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> 
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> Each machine within the LAN can see/browse all other

<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> But not the other way round.
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> ie the machines in the DMZ can see but not browse the
<jrakers>> LAN machines.
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> 
<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> I have allowed traffic of udp/tcp ports 137-139 between

<jrakers>> <pascal.lengard>> and LAN, with
