if the IPSec gateways are NOT the default gateways, you must put a
static   route  on every machine who wants to talk to that special
network on the other side, which points to the ipsec-gateway.

the  easiest and best way  would  be  of  course if they
were the default gw...

A good idea if you want windows boxes to "play together" is to use
wins (windows naming service) samba can do this too.
