This subject came up on the list previously. There was a link
to a Microsoft Article addressing it. Perhaps if he looked through the
archives he might find it.

As far as I am aware you cannot do Network Neighbourhood browsing across a
router - it works by using broadcast packets, so unless you bridge your
networks together you will not be able to browse one side from the other.
You can certainly make Windows / SMB / NetBios connections from one network
to another, but only if you know in advance the IP address/es of the
machine/s you want to connect to.
If anyone knows a way of supporting Windows browsing across a router, please
speak up :-)
