If you have working routes and DNS, and pings and ssh are not firewalled 
between the networks, everything should just work.  The only things that 
might cause problems is that there is a ping test with a short timeout 
to determine network availability and you might have problems with 
netbios lookups of DHCP hosts if WINS is not properly configured - but 
neither of those seems likely in your case.
