i'll just copy-paste what i already replied for someone else.

first of all, i believe you need
one of the machines to become the master for netbios/wins in your lan.
second, you need to make sure you have the rule:

iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --sport 137 -j
ACCEPT

nautilus will try to connect to port 137/udp, and also receives
responses from port 137/udp, so you basically have to open up 137 on
your machine. i hope this helps somehow.
