Well, got some of it working. Here are the settings that worked for me:
interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 172.16.15.0/24 eth0 wlan0 tun0
# samba host not visible on VPN client without the following
remote announce = 172.16.21.255

#for security (allow only local, wired lan and VPN clients)
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24 172.16.15.0/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0


Even though I can see and browse to the samba share from Gnome's Network
GUI from a VPN client, but I cannot access the shared folder. The
Network GUI reports "Unable to mount location - Failed to mount windows
share".

Note that I can mount the share using smbmount command by specifying the
user=guest option, however. Here is the smb.conf file on ROUTER:
#-----------------------------------------------------------

[global]
workgroup = routersmb
server string = %h server
dns proxy = no
interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 wlan0 tun0
remote announce = 172.16.21.255
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24 172.16.15.0/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

#-----------------------------------------------------------


So, what am I missing further regarding this failure of Gnome Network
GUI to mount the windows share?

Thanks.
