single workgroup spanning multiple subnets: how?

I have a single windows workgroup, spanning two subnets connected
through a windows 2003 router.

The problem is that, computers on one subnet can see each other through
the "network neighbours" icon but not the computers on the other subnet.

How can I resolve this problem?

Thank you for your help!

Historically, there is a distinction between browsing workgroups as
distingished from domains across subnets. As a result, you may not be able
to do this with your workgroup setup - See:

Obviously, since you have a Windows Server 2003 machine, the recommended
solution would be to configure an Active Directory domain. If instead you
are determined to retain the workgroup setup, try:

1. Install WINS - may not work, but it's easy to configure and test; or

2. Sometimes you can fool the browser service: On the server run regedit
and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Browser\Parameters

Set IsDomainMaster to TRUE

On each client machine create an lmhosts file pointing to the server as the
PDC - substitute your workgroup name for the domain name. See:
