This has nothing to do with samba.  Under windows explorer, you should
have an icon for "entire network".  Double clicking on it should show you
all the workgroups on the network and allow you to browse them.  If this
doesn't work, then it is a windows config problem.  There is no need for 
any sort of "router" to allow cross browsing between workgroups.  In fact
the workgroup thing is really only a filter explorer uses to organize the
browse list.
