The following link may be helpful if it your domain controller is also a
wins server. It does not specifically mention NAT but it does show a
registry entry that may help. Another option may be to disable the computer
browser service on your domain controller and then another server or
computer in the network would pick up that role. If you do such try to find
a computer that will be on all the time and give it priority to be a master
browser, otherwise you could end up with frequent browser elections. ---
