Thanks again, all, for your thoughts and suggestions.

You're right - the static routes were overkill.  I have since removed them,
but for some reason I am still unable to route between the two networks.

Indeed I have set my router as the default gateway for my client machines
using the 192.168.1.1 address that they can contact it on.  When a client
machine tries to ping a 10.1.1.0 address, I can see via Ethereal that the
request goes to my router.  I just still stumped as to why it won't forward
the traffic on to the proper host!

Being somewhat green on Linux administration, I even went to the bookstore
last night to check out a Red Hat admin book.  It seems to tell me pretty
much what you kind folks have already told me.

Hmmm... when I figure this out, I know it's going to be something I'll want
to slap myself over.  ;-)
