What precisely do you mean by "not able to communicate"?

Can you ping? Just by nunber? By name too?

Is it a browsing problem? (You need WINS servers
for browsing across subnets, especially for browsing
across multiple domains.)

What do you mean "change the subnet"?

That require WINS server too when you need external
trusts and there are multiple subnet involved.

You don't have these domains in the same forest, do you?

"To service"? It cannot authenticate another domains
users or machines, but you can create trusts and share
recources.

Well, AD authentication and replication will not
work correctly without DNS (setup correctly.)
