Best put a Samba server on the firewall and broadcast to both networks using the `remote announce =` option.. Make this machine the master browser for both networks and you should be fine, I do with with VPN users and it works like a dream until you put a PDC into the network which continously complains and wants to be the master.. he he.. linux beats it hands down on every election..

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 :-) Antony.
