Please be very sure about opening those ports to the internet.  Perhaps
you should use OpenSSH to create a secure tunnel.

I played around with tcpdump between two local system, one being my file
server running Samba.  The requests for the smbclient program were all TCP
packets on port 139, while for the nmblookup, the packets were UDP on port
137.  Perhaps you could do a tcpdump of the traffic, using "grep -v ssh"
to remove all traffic from the SSH terminal session.

It's possible something is filtering the TCP packets.  You could try a
traceroute on that port and see if you get some idea where the filtering
occurs.

Included below are the tcpdumps from my system.  Amber is the Samba
server.

Any reason you're not using FTP?
