That did the trick.

Yep, we are all on the same subnet.  Someone else mentioned "remote
announce" which seems to be the solution for multiple subnets.

Now that I know to look for nmb and remote announce, there is plenty of
documentation about how to fix this, stuff I didn't find when I looked last
week.  RTFM would have worked, but there was a really big load FM to R, and
I really didn't want to learn all the gritty details of how a Microsoft
designed networking protocol worked just to find an answer that should have
been in the FAQ (the question was there).

Thanks guys.
