I can go from a computer (192.5.5.2) through a router (e0=192.5.5.1 to s0 201.100.11.1) to another router (s1= 201.100.11.2 to e0 219.17.100.1)

But I cannot ping a computer (219.17.100.2) on router2.


I have checked and double checked my router rip on both routers. I have set clockrate on router2.

Here's my question -- What should my gateways be?

Router1
E0 -- 192.5.5.1/24
S0 -- 201.100.11.1/24

Computer1 connected to Router1 through switch
IP -- 192.5.5.2/24

Router2
E0 -- 219.17.100.1/24
S0 -- 201.100.11.2/24

Computer2 connected to Router2 through switch
IP -- 219.17.100.2/24


Gateways?

Thanks guys.

The default gateway is almost always the nearest router address. Computer 2 would use router 2's address: 219.17.100.1.

If you can ping the LAN interface on the remote router, you've eliminated clock, serial and routing problems. Almost certainly it's computer 2's gateway setup, or a firewall.
