first, lets look at the most likely netmasks for these subnetworks:
141.108.21.x/255.255.255.0 - call this subnet 's'
141.108.16.x/255.255.255.0 - call this subnet 'c'
You've not said enough about your network for me to be sure how its
laid out - I'll assume you use one physical network to carry both
subnets.
If indeed these two subnetworks share the same physical wire (like I
just said), then you need to somehow let both subnets know about each
other - or somehow provide a path from subnet 'c' to the server.
One way to do this is to put your smb server on both subnets:
ifconfig eth0:1 141.108.16.254 mask 255.255.255.0 ...blah...blah...
the key is the "eth0:1". (Note that I'm typing that ifconfig command from
memory, so you'll probably need to fix it)
Another way is to put up a route between the two subnets (THIS works
even if the two subnets are on different physical wires). Use a linux
box on both subnets (set up as a router), a router, or whatever to
provide that functionality.
Now, stepping back from the question one step - why are there two subnets,
especially if they share the same wire?
