Accelar 1200 cannot see past 350f

[dcherde]

I have set up an Accelar 1200 to route IP over port based Vlans. If I have machines (pcs,etc.) directly connected to it (static IPs), it routes fine. However, If I connect switchs (bay350fs) to a 1200 port (via crossover cable), then PCs to the switches, I cannot see through the 1200.
I set up VLAN1(default) for segment 192.168.16.0/24 Vlan2 for segment 208.147.146.128/25, and Vlan3 for 192.168.17.1/24. If a distribution switch (350f or 350fhd) is introduced off of these vlans, I can see the switch(es) but nothing past them. nor can I see anything on another segment (except the DNS/DHCP helper server)
Here are some observations:
1) From a laptop directly connected to the router (192.168.16.10), I can ping 208.147.136.147 (Vlan2 router address) and 208.147.136.146 (DHCP server). I cannot ping 208.147.136.129 (another device hanging on the network through a switch).

Is there some sort of layer 2 forwarding or cache that has to enabled? Any other ideas?
TIA..

Ok step one, Nortel has two seperate switch families named 350

the 350t 350f and 350hd are older and do not do 802.1d VLANS, so you need to be untagged single VLAN to them

the 350-12t and 350-24t are newer (less old) and do VLANS just great, you can tag multiple VLANs through them no trouble

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
