Logging on to the network - one samba, two subnets.

Hi.
I have Samba set up to serve W95 PCs. Kids "log in to the
network" using their Unix password. Students get their
Unix home dir mounted as network drive X: when login is
successful.
This all happens on IP subnet 192.168.1.1/24
So far, so good.
We are thinking about adding another IP subnet - say
192.168.2.1/24. Of course, the two subnets will be
connected with a router. It is unlikely the router will
be the machine running Samba.
Will the new W95 machines in the new IP subnet
(192.168.2.1/24) be able to use the Samba
Server on the old subnet (192.168.1.1/24) ?
Anything special I have to do?
The Unix machine that runs Samba also runs
DNS and is our gateway to the internet. We
have no immediate plans for getting NT
Server, although I can see a few NT Workstations
as a possibility.
Eddie.
