Network neighborhood in a workgroup environment is going to work on
broadcasts, so unless you forward those, you can't do it in a
workgroup environment. If you set up a domain and put an NT server on
each subnet, you can do it.
Isn't the use of a WINS server the solution here? If so, you could use Samba
instead of Windows NT. AFAIK you need a WINS server on every collision
domain if you don't forward (NetBIOS) broadcasts. By putting a WINS server
onto the gateway (the IPChains box), you could probably achieve this with
only one physical machine. Since it runs Linux, Samba seems to be the most
logical choice to me, but then again, I've never tried to get it to work
across subnets. I do know that our NT4 WINS servers cause us headaches quite
often, though... we'll be reinstalling our local machine as soon as we can
and see if that cures it..
