Win shared directories

Hi all,
I would like to search for shared directories on windows machines connected to different MK interfaces. E.g. PC1_192.168.1.1/24, PC2_192.168.2.1/24 respectively connected to MK Eth1 and Eth2 interfaces. Is there a way to allow PC1 find PC2 if I do a search for 192.168.2.1 from PC1?

If I bridge interfaces,
all broadcast traffic will pass trhough them. I would like to avoid this...

Thank you for reply chvdr,
do you mean several ways to bridge the two interfaces?
I would like to use Win shared directories in order to test link capacity through MK router without MK link test tool, but simply transferring a file between two PCs.
Obviuosly I can ping one another the two PCs on two different interfaces, but if I look for shared resources of one of them, e.g. "\192.168.1.1\public", I cannot find anything.

As far as I know Windows sharing is based on NetBIOS and use broadcast packets unless you have WINS server...

or xampp and ftp transfer...

Don't you mean "\\192.168.1.1\public"? The two leading slashes are required.
SMB only requires broadcasts for name lookup. As you're not doing this here this should work.
Network browsing also requires broadcasts. Depending on the type of OS involved, you require a DNS and/or WINS server.

yes, you have to write "\\192.168.1.1\public". not "\192.168.1.1\public". two leading slashes required.

I have tried to find the solution for this problem for long time, but now i find it for 10 sec. Use masquerading for every interface for everywhere!
