NAT and NetBios

[Leslie Jay <elljay () usa net>]

Greetings,

  While I'm aware that NetBios over TCP (NBT) definitely is going to
  be a problem with most NAT products, in this particular case FW-1,
  because the host IP is contained in the payload which the NAT is
  not going to translate,  there isn't much resources about how to
  resolve it.

  I'm sure that having know about this situation for so long, some
  creative soul must have figured out how to overcome it. I'm sure
  it is quite impossible to avoid altogether. For some reason, some
  people just NEEDs to be able to login to the WinNT domain from
  anywhere in the world.

  To save myself some sleepless, hair-pulling nights, I hope 
  someone can share their findings, or recommend a possible lead.

/Leslie
