Linux SAMBA server viewed as being on the Internet by XP

I had a stable Mandrake 9.2 samba server (can't remember which
version, I think it was the last version 2). It sat on my home network
and all my XP machines accessed it fine.

I upgraded with the Mandrake 10.0 Official Download release and all is
well,
*except* that my XP boxes now think that my Linux box is on the
Internet *outside* my LAN! Now it's not really stopping anything, it
just flashes warning boxes everytime you run an executable on the
Linux server. So it needs fixing, or I have to lower my security
settings for the *Internet Zone* on XP and I'd rather not do that.

The new version of SAMBA is 3.02a. Oddly my Linux box appears in the
same WORKGROUP as my XP boxes, which suggests that some part of the
relationship knows that the SAMBA server is sitting in the right
place.

Has anyone ever seen this? Any ideas on how it happens? I can post
relevant conf files if needed etc.

Do the IP addresses and netmasks of the relevant machines put them
on the same subnet? Are they on the same side of the first router?

DHCP Server: 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Linux: 192.168.0.177 netmask 255.255.255.0

So I think they are in the same subnet aren't they?
