What I do is use the noauto,user options, then mount it as my normal user
when I actually need anything from my windows dir. if you want to have it
mount at boot try using uid=gid=1000 (or whatever your user ID is. Look in
/etc/passwd)

to enable access from localnet use this rule :
/sbin/ipchains -A input -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT

If you want a more complete ruleset, including masqurading,let me know,
I'll send you what I was using when I was using ipchains. ipfilters is soo
much easier though!!
