samba dual network pdc/wins setup

Hi!

My Arch Linux router has three nic's, one for the internet, one for lan and one for the wireless network, which uses hostapd.

I have set up samba in order to enable windows file sharing from wireless lan to wired lan. Using the samba documentation I have enabled the wins server and wins proxy which should allow met to browse the shares across the networks, which theoretically should do the trick but it doesn't work as expected. I can see the pc's from the other network using windows neighbourhood, but as soon as I access one of them it fails saying that "network path could not be found" or something like this. Tried using windows 7, windows xp and linux for browsing but the result is the same.

As firewall I have shorewall and the samba specific ports are enabled for both networks.

Who can help me setup samba for inter-network browsing ???

Thanks.
