Netbios works by intercepting messages on the broadcast address on the
network segment (I hope that I explained that OK!). In general, broadcast
traffic does not cross routers.
Read Browsing.txt for more information (it comes with the samba source
distribution). One solution would be to set up a WINS server to resolve
the queries for you.
Cheers,
Jason
