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?
