Just started a new job and the network is so confusion and I believe wrong.

Not too familiar with Cisco so here goes.

My company uses 192.168.11.x/24 and 192.168.10.x/24. I have one DHCP to assign both ranges to clients. The primary scope is 192.168.11.x (Default Gateway: 192.168.11.1), but when these are unavailable they get a 192.168.10.x IP (DF: 192.168.10.1). There is one physical subnet. In other words, there is no router to separate the two networks. I have one Cisco router (2611) with two ethernet ports. One is the public port to get out on the internet and the private port has a primary IP of 192.168.11.1 and a secondary IP of 192.168.10.1.

The problem is that the 11 and 10 networks are not communicating. Can a router have two IPs on the same card and still serve as a default gateway for both networks? Does the router have to have a route table to forward packets destine to the other network back through the ethernet port?
