Okay, obviously it's some issue with Windows networking. It looks like Renato can help you with the server end, but the problem might also be on the client. Two possibilities: firewall or NetBIOS not enabled on the tun device. It could be that while you're connected to the LAN, Windows Networking is simply bypassing the tap device and using the NIC directly, unencrypted, to connect to the Samba server (because it broadcasts a request for a server matching the name, and your Samba server answers, even though it's not using that interface at the time...) If you've recently upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2, the Windows Firewall has probably been "helpfully" turned on for you. In Network Connections, open the properties page for the tap device, go to the Advanced tab, and check your firewall settings (turn it off completely for this device). If you have any other firewall running on your client, check its settings, too. The other thing is whether the client will pass NetBIOS requests through the tunnel. In the advanced properties for the tap device, make sure Client for Microsoft Networks is listed. Then go into the TCP/IP settings for the connection, and look on the WINS tab. I forget which option you need--somehow you need to allow NetBIOS over TCP/IP. And while you're there, give it the IP address for the WINS server, because the broadcast won't get routed through the tunnel. And make sure you turn WINS on on the Samba server... Restart your computer if you made any changes, and it should work... Hope that helps...
