You are using NAT with NetBIOS, that's the Problem. I am currently
working on conntrack and nat_helper modules to circumvent the problems
you are experiencing, but I am still in early planning phase.

The actual problem is, that some NetBIOS packets carry IP addresses in their
payload that is not taken care of in the netfilter code. Examples are WINS
messages via NetBIOS-ns (137/udp) and Domain-Logon via NetBIOS-dgm (138/udp).

I recommend using routing for these purposes instead of NAT until some
solution like my netfilter modules is available.

HTH, Joerg
