RE: networking trouble

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

Jonathan there's nothing wrong with his IP setup.  It's perfectly valid to
use 192.168.0.0/16 as long as you dont try to advertise it to the internet
(which wouldn't work anyway).  There's nothing wrong with his
netmasks/gateway settings as configured, I think it's something else that's
causing his problem...

If your IPs and netmasks are really set up as below, that's
probably your problem: you're trying to gene-splice apples and
oranges here :-)

Try 255.255.255.0 netmask.  192.168.1.0 is non-routable class C
network.

192.168.2.0 is also a non-routable class C.  Try renumbering this
to 192.168.1.10 and see if it helps.  Mask 255.255.255.0

Like above, renumber this to 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0.

That should make everything work.
