   Since you are using private addresses, it would be easier for us if you
specified what IP addresses and netmasks you are actually using.

    How are these subnets connected? What is acting as a router between
them?

    A simple diagram of your network (with IP addresses and subnet masks)
would help. eg

    server
10.0.0.7/24 dg 10.0.0.1
        |
workstations
10.0.0.x/24 dg 10.0.0.1
        |
10.0.0.1/24 dg blank
   router
10.0.3.1/24 dg blank
        |
workstations
10.0.3.x/24 dg 10.0.3.1

        If you are not familiar with the 10.0.0.1/24 notation, the /24 just
indicates the number of bits in the netmask used. (24 bit netmask is
255.255.255.0).
