This is done on the routers. The UDP ports that MS networking uses are 137,
138, and 139. When you open Network Neighborhood, it broadcasts, looking
for other Windows machines. On the router, you need to forward that
broadcast traffic to the broadcast address of the remote subnet. The same
thing needs to done on the remote subnet, forwarding it's broadcast traffic
to your subnets broadcast address. IP helper on the router will forward the
broadcasts. IP helper by default handles 7 (I think) UDP ports. 137 and
138 are defaults. "Netbios-ss NetBios session service (139)" is not. Add
it with a 'IP forward-protocol udp 139' command. I don't think that
directed broadcasts are required, but it has been a while since I played
with it, so try adding directed broadcasts if it doesn't work.
