Hello Dewayne,

I have encountered a similar problem, when I configured a SAMBA PDC over the wan (through IPSEC of course). You might like to consider using these in your smb.conf:
hosts allow = 10.1. 10.2.
remote announce = 10.1.1.255 10.2.1.255
remote browse sync = 10.1.1.255  10.2.1.255

I have tried that, but no luck. Still can't resolve the NetBIOS name using
solely NetBIOS broadcasts.

If that doesn't solve the need, then perhaps you should modify /etc/devfs.rules in your base system, to behave a little more promiscuously, and include something like:
[devfsrules_samba_jail=6]
add include $devfsrules_hide_all
add include $devfsrules_unhide_basic
add include $devfsrules_unhide_login
add path bpf0 unhide

I also tried that. Of course I also configured "devfsrules_samba_jail" policy 
for
my jail. So now I can also tcpdump in my jail. But still, those broadcasts seem 
to
be ignored by samba (although I can see them with tcpdump). This works for you?

Note the latter opens a potential security hole if someone breaches samba jail, providing a means to tcpdump (...) your network

This is not a great concern for me since this will be running locally.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Nejc
