I have a server that has two NICs. One of them is IP'd at 192.168.12.100 with no gateway. 192.168.12.0 is a small seperate internal network. The other one is IP'd at 192.168.15.100 with a gateway of 192.168.15.1. This is the main network. The subnets are so that these are seperate networks. My machine is 192.168.15.101 and I can ping both of these IP address with no problem. However, what I need to do is be able to ping through to another device on the 192.168.12.0 network by going through both of these NIC cards. I have tried all kinds of ways to do this with both persistent routes and/or RRAS static routes. No matter what I try I have never been able to get a ping reply back. Any thoughts, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated as this one has me stumped.

Devices on the 192.168.12.0/24 network need to have a default-gateway of the servers NIC (192.168.12.100). Your PC (192.168.15.101) needs a static route for network 192.168.12.0/24
As long as you have routing (RRAS) installed ok on the server this should work.

Code:
route add 192.168.12.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.100HTH

Excellent reply, you were exactly right. The issue is that there is no gateway configured on the device that I need the reply from. I have contacted my vendor to have them rectify this. I used wireshark to prove that with the gateway we started receiving ICMP replies. In thinking about this, it makes sense that you must have a gateway because you are leaving the local network. Thanks and have a star on me.
