You don't need to bridge unless *cough* you're just using NetBEUI *hack*
*sputter*.

NetBIOS over TCP is routable.  But the "browsing" function a la network
neighborhood is largely not, without some intervention of a WINS server
and appropriately configured NT servers to exchange this information.

If you attempt a connection to a TCP/IP address, or a fully-qualified
DNS name, it should work even if you can't see it.  But this depends
on the absence of a firewall on both ends, or firewalls configured to
allow netbios traffic (UDP ports 137-139).

You probably DON'T want this wide open.  Hackers can browse your
networks for shares and get your NetBIOS names.
