I'm not a Linux expert but I believe I've stumbled upon something that
may help others debug/solve this problem - if you open FireStarter, go
to Preferences/Advanced Options and UNCHECK "Block broadcasts from
external network" the problem goes away.

Doesn't that mean that this is really an IPTABLES problem? That IPTABLES
is accidentally blocking LAN Netbios broadcasts? That IPTABLES is
mistakenly trreating LAN broadcasts as External network broadcasts?

It's not Nautilus. It's not Samba. It's IPTABLES.

Am I wrong?
