I tried this, on one of the Windows computer.  I changed the subnet to
255.255.0.0 which would include both of the private subnets on both
networks.  (the class B network subnet was just for a test, not a
permanent setting).  However, this didn't solve the issue.  I know that
NetBEUI/NetBIOS isn't a routable protocol, but what's the work around if
this is the issue.

Windows machines



Windows networking of the "network neighbourhood" kind depends on
broadcast traffic from the master browser on the network. I'm guessing
this system isnt broadcasting traffic across the VPN.

I'm not 100% sure, but modifying the subnet mask on the windows machine
might work. The easy way is to edit the lmhosts file on one of the
remote windows machines - I dont remember the specifics, but the file
(lmhosts or lmhosts.sam) includes some examples.
