as you state later, you do no filtering - so you cannot say you do 
firewalling but only do nat.

Samba isn't installed on your BSD box, is it?
If it isn't, you could pull the cable of your internal windoze box and 
look if the light keeps blinking ;-)

I would suggest to add IPFilter to your Kernel and then have a look at 
http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ on how to set up a firewall.

The relevant Ports for Netbios are 137-139 (nbname, nbsession, 
nbdatagram), so you should at least filter them on the external 
interface.

For security issues I would suggest reading the online-/mailresources
of securityfocus.com and cert.org, other resources are mentioned 
on http://www.cert.org/nav/other_sources.html 

so long,

Wolfram
