I have 2 LANs: 192.168.1.X which uses a D-Link broadband router DI-704P and modem for Internet connection while 10.208.48.X uses a lease line connection. The D-Link router also acts as a DHCP for the 192.168.1.X LAN while the 10.208.48.X LAN gets the dynamic IPs from a Win NT4.0 DHCP Server. Both are able to access the Internet but are not able to access each other. I tried to connect the two LANs together using a PC with 2 NICs as a router between the 2 LANs but have not been successful. Only the PC with 2 NICs is able to see both LANs. Have tried different OS, NT workstation, NT server, Linux and Freesco on the PC with 2 NICs. Please help.

you will have to set-up the machine(s) at the 192.168.1.X LAN for a alternate gateway. Since the D-Link will tell that he's the "way out" you will have to add a route to 10.208.48.X LAN machines.
e.g.
route add 10.208.48.0 mask 25.255.255.0 <two-nic machine ip> metric 1 if 1
this will inform the PC that a new route is accessable through the "two-nic" machine.
