Routing issue?

[cyberspace]

I've been configuring a 3Com enterprise level router and i'm trying to get it connected to a netgear (home style).

The router to router connection is fine, and I can ping both of the 3com routers ethernet interfaces from a host. However, i can't ping the next hop from a host, which is the netgear (but can from the router). The 3com can also talk to the internet.

RIP is enabled accross the network, but it still doesn't work.

My past exeperience has all been with Cisco kit so this is stumping me a bit, and I can't think what i've missed.

Any ideas? The config is as follows (although altereed for security reasons, there are also some static routes missing from this)
