This is more a windows problem and specific more a WINS/NETBios/name resolution problem. Do you got a dns server? Some kind of domain?
What I understand from your story the following happens: Client queries on netbios level; who is \\computername to the masterbrowser list, can't find on local subnet, hence not found. Broadcasts don't travel beyond own subnet unless otherwise configured. What you should do is either connect via \\ip\share or get yourself some kind of AD DNS or a WINS Server and tell your clients to use WINS/DNS for name resolution. Then it should work.
