How Do I Browse Between Subnets?

I have a small network with three distinct groups of computers. I would
like to setup three IP subnets as part with a single domain controller and I
would like to enable browsing between subnets. For example:

Domain Controller (Windows 2000 Server) for Whoop.com on 192.168.1.1

Subnet 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 (WAN)
Subnet 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 (Staging Computers)
Subnet 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 (Development Computer)

I am not able to 'see' computers between subnets using My Network Places.
For my purposes, I want to be able to see these computers. I think I need
routers.

I place a Linksys router connecting the 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0 nets.
It has a WAN address of 192.168.1.100 and a Staging address of
192.168.2.100. The Dynamic Routing is enabled, but my WAN computers cannot
see the Staging computers. My domain controller has all three subnets in its
Default First Site.

Any ideas?
 
If you have plugged one subnet into the WAN port of the
router, you might have to consider the fact that the
router might have some security features built into it
that prevent people on a WAN from 'looking' into your LAN,
try plugging all subnets into LAN ports and try this
again, as far as Windows goes, it shouldnt really bother
whether your 'neighbours' are in the same subnet or
not...again, please dont quote me on this, i havent tried
this out as i dont have a setup similar to yours...
