lane: would you draw me a diagram of your current setup? I'm having a hard time picturing your setup.

Also, you can check to see if ip forwarding is enabled by running the following command:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

if the return value is 1 you are setup to forward (route) packets. If not, you're OK.

thanks for the diagram. Not to be a pain to suggest this, but why don't you go back to your old config (linux box with two nics) but have both nics configured statically?
This way you can maintain control over your routing table.
As to why samba isn't working anymore...have you tried to manually map a drive? You may also want to restart smb by going:
service smb restart

Welp, pretty hard to troubleshoot remotely without a shell account, so I can't really think of what else to tell you about samba not working...could prolly figure it out in minutes with a user level shell account if you like.

Looking at your current diagram, I would also suggest that you stick a firewall in front of your DSL connection, to protect the servers, and another firewall between networks to protect your workstations. As I understand it, you have a firewall on your cable connection but not one on your DSL connection, and the two networks are connected, so a gaping hole exists there.

Good luck!
