I have to believe that the person who wrote the guide that you followed did something else too as building the static routes the way he sys to do it doesn't apparently work - I tried it too as have several other posters here and I cannot get ping responses..
I think that router/gateway setting is something particular to linksys router as I cannot find any such setting on my dlink or netgear routers. Discussions on the internet about the router settting appear to indicate that it's some sort of bridge mode.
I have not, no.
like I mentioned in my OP, when I change the router mode on my linksys from 'gateway' to 'router', I can ping from my 1.X subnet to my 2.X subnet, but only ping devices with static IPs, like the router and my test server...I've got 2 other clients on the 2.X network that can't be pinged, a test win7 machine and a test winxp virtual machine.
I've considered posting my question on other networking forums to see if anyone else had any suggestions to help get it working.
