I neglected to recall a basic concept and even though some of you pointed out my error, I kept misreading what you stated. My problem was not that I misconfigured the new Linux router or the hosts on the 192.168.0.0 network. It was that I neglected to add a route to the hosts on the 10.1.1.0 network back to the 192.168.0.0 network. Once I did so, I became able to ping the 10.1.1.0 hosts from 192.168.0.0 machines. Somehow I forgot that it needs to be a two-way street. Ugh. I apologize for taking everyone's time. I learned new things in the process though. -Ian Ian Zapczynski wrote: > Thanks again, all, for your thoughts and suggestions. > > You're right - the static routes were overkill.
