How to build contact list for different subnets?
If you have three subnets ( for example ). You need to build one contact list for all users.
Edit each contact in the one computer from the each subnet and remove check "Temporary contact" and set check "Force status checking". Be sure that all contacts from the subnet is visible ( online or offline does not matter ). Export contact lists from two subnets and import it in the third computer from third subnet. Now you have contact list for all users - export the contact list to the file.

Also you can build the contact list by hand at the one computer, but this a bit difficult way.
