hello,

I have a linksys cable firewall router with 4 ports and a wan. Everything is great with this product. I just wanted to play with the routing function.

My main network is on 192.168.1.x:255.255.255.0.
I have set-up a test machine on 172.16.1.1:255.255.0.0

So the test computer is completely invisible to the lan. I have added the test IP to the static route and did expect to be able to ping it but it doesn't work.

my aim is to say, "any data destined for 172.16.1.1 - goto 192.168.1.1)

any help would be appreciated.

cheers,

jono
