I finally got cross subnet browsing working.  I had to set the wins 
server on every client to 192.168.0.1  The 192.168.2.0 side can open "My 
network Places" and see all the computers.  The only problem is that the 
192.168.0.0 side can't see the other computers in 192.168.2.0, they only 
see the computers on 192.168.0.0.  Whats really weird is that I can type 
in \\computername and it goes right to it.  I'm thinking that one side 
not being able to see the other side is because a windows 2000 PDC on 
the 192.168.0.0 side.  Is their some service that I need to turn off in 
order to resolve this issue?  Thanks for your help.  Below is how my 
network looks:

192.168.0.0(clients, XP, with the wins server set as 192.168.0.1, in 
DOMAIN TEST)
   |
192.168.0.4(Win2K PDC with its wins server set to 192.168.0.1)
   |
192.168.0.1(Linux gateway, with samba 3.0.4 wins support = yes)
   |
   |
Internet
   |
   |
192.168.2.1(Linux gateway, with samba 3.0.4 wins server = 192.168.0.1)
   |
192.168.0.0(clients, XP, with the wins server set as 192.168.0.1, in 
workgroup: TEST)

Thanks for your help.
