Aaron - OK.  Here is some more related to the specific problem we are having:

I have some Linux servers mixed with some Windows servers and my IT person
(he's a windows guy) is having trouble with a permissions/security issue. []
Every once in a while we get stuck because of the depth of our knowledge.

PROBLEM: We have a setting on the Linux server at Hooks that we'd like
changed. I think PIN (our internal Virtual Linux) (xx.xxx.xxx.xx) has a setting
that blocks anything but the local network from accessing its samba shares.
 I have a hosted server that wants to access those shares and can't.

I found the above link while trying to check if such a thing exists.  I'm not
sure it's how it was done on this server.  Can you look to see if that is set
on the server?  Or do you know of somewhere else an IP based restriction
could be set in Linux?  I don't want it limited by Linux at all (based on IP),
I want the external firewall to deal with that.

Hooks Unlimited does music production for radio stations worldwide and
have a virtual Linux server running Red Hat 7.3
