 Although I believe a unix server doing smb is more secure than a windows box, 
I don't think I would put it on the public internet.  

So you've checked that wins traffic can go in both directions across the 
router?

Perhaps you need  an entry in hosts and/or lmhosts on your client machines 
that point to the 66.11.xxx.xxx server.  On a windows box the lmhosts file 
contains its own documentation.
