can samba make visible Internet w95 box and local LAN win95 boxes ?
I have LAN with Linux dialup to Internet. Now if a win95 machine dials up to Internet, can samba make the LAN win95 machines see the Internet win95 machine and vice versa ? by "making visible" I mean "allowing sharing of resources/services" . Any pointers ?

Clarification: Re: can samba make visible Internet w95 box and local LAN win95 boxes ?
Let me rephrase it altogether: I have LAN with Linux doing IP_Masquerading for the Lan. The LAN has also an NT and a bunch of win95 boxes. Now someone with a win95 in another city wants to "connect to the LAN" -- I.e. it wants to see / cooperate with the NT & win95 boxes on the LAN. So it dials up to the Internet in that city. The linux box (with IP_Masquerading ) also dials up to a local ISP. I understand that with appropriate setup, the remote-city win95 could be made to see the Linux box's samba services over the Internet. But can the remote-city win95 box "see" and cooperate (file / printer sharing) with the NT & win95 boxes on the LAN ?
