Is there an encrypted tunnel between the two subnets or do you own your own router that directly connects the two different subnets? Probably a good idea to have a machine on both subnets - a PDC on one and BDC on other where both could run WINS and act as netbios locators. Broadcasts are often stopped by routers so remote broadcasts can't be counted on as automatically working - seems like you need to do some tcp dump analysis.
