1600 Joining Two Networks

[WATKINS]

I have a 1600 series router that I want to use to join two networks. However I can't seem to get it to work.

Network A = 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
Network B = 192.168.22.0 255.255.255.0

Here is what I have done so far, I configure both interfaces, eth0 for A, eth1 for B. Now what? How do I link the two together?

Here is an example

gateway>enable
gateway#config t
gateway(config)#interface eth0
gateway(config-if)#ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
gateway(config-if)#^Z
gateway(config)#interface eth1
gateway(config-if)#ip address 192.168.22.1 255.255.255.0
gateway(config-if)#^Z

now, shouldn't I be able to ping from 192.168.25.x to 192.168.0.x? I configured my machines to use the router as the gateway but nothing goes through.

Watkins,
Have you confirmed if the interfaces are active. If you do a show interface, it will show if the interfaces are "up" or "down".

If the interfaces are "administratively down", you need to issue a "no shutdown" command (under each interface) to make the interface active. By default, interfaces are always in shutdown mode when they start from a blank config.
