If you have working routes and DNS, and pings and ssh are not firewalled
between the networks, everything should just work. The only things that
might cause problems is that there is a ping test with a short timeout
to determine network availability and you might have problems with
netbios lookups of DHCP hosts if WINS is not properly configured - but
neither of those seems likely in your case.
