If the are seperate subnets you cannot use "broadcast browsing" as I
call it, for lack of knowledge of the proper term, to find all of your
computers. However this is something a WINS box should address. You
shouldn't need a LMB if you have a WINS box and both subnets can reach
it. If I remember correctly, the only way to browse across subnets is
to use a WINS server. I have had no problems with this and I don't have
a LMB or WINS box on the secondary subnets.
