Your Samba box thinks IWILL is at 218.188.76.202, and your internal
address can't reach it, that seems like your problem. Add IWILL to your
/etc/hosts file if it's not already there, and make sure your samba box
checks the hosts file before DNS. I don't think, from what it looks like,
that it's a Samba issue.
