do the machines on the different subnet know how to reach your solaris
machine(ie: can they ping it?)

then you'll want to set the wins servers of the other machines to be the
ip of the samba server (unless they already have a wins server)


then: 
turn on wins support in smb.conf
wins support = yes


if the other machines already have a wins server then you'll need to make
sure you're samba server is broadcasting its existence to the wins server.
