Hi Martin,
I have to agree with your logic but I have double checked and they point to
the same default gateway as the other machines on the old network. I went
ahead and did a route add for each linux machine (there were three) now they
can find the new network as if nothing was wrong. I am still just really
confused about it. Maybe they have to have a static route entered even
though the router for the old network knows where the new network is.... I
have tried every host over the Internet and all seem to find the new network
hosts ok.... See below for a simple layout....

Internet --- Old Network --- New Network
                          |
                          |
                Another Network


Anyways, Any other ideas?
Thank you for your time and thoghts,
Lewis
