cannot browse workgorup

We have two subnets:
172.17.8.0 mask 255.255.252.0
192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway for the second subnet is a PC with two IP adresses and RIP protocol. The default gateway for the first subnet is 172.17.8.254 and another gateway is 192.168.2.254
There are eight computers which are in the 192.168.2.0 subnet and we want that computers were in a the same workgroup that another computers that are in the 172.17.8.0 subnet. The problem is that both computers cannot view each other through the net, but we can make ping and all computers respond.
Thank you.

Why do you have them on separate subnets? Larry

if you're running different subnets, and workgroups, you must add the sharing computer to the DNS server, its name and ip.
