Priscilla, You'll need to either have a domain controller on each segment or set the "ip helper-address x.x.x.x" on the DC-less interface on the router that's routing the two segments. In other words, if ethernet0 is on subnet 1 without a DC, and ethernet1 is on subnet 2 with a DC, place the command on ethernet0. NetBIOS will attempt to resolve names by broadcast, and the helper address will turn that broadcast into a unicast towards the IP of the DC you specify in the config. Let me know how that works.

It sure has been keeping me humble. ;-) So we upgraded the single subnet to two subnets and two VLANs. Everything is working OK except for Windows networking. The PCs on the new subnet can't find a domain controller for authentication. So, you can feel free to yell at me for not gathering more information on the symptoms, but the client hasn't told me much. ;-) But does this ring a bell with anyone? Are there standard recommendations on how to handle this in a subnetted VLANed internetwork. I'm not too well informed on Windows networking. My co-author wrote that chapter in my troubleshooting book. Thank-you so much!
