I am trying to configure a Linksys router that connects our LAN to the
internet.  We have three locations, each with their own subnet.  For
instance, here at Garrettsville, we use IP addresses 10.251.46.65 -
10.251.46.128, while in Warren, they use 10.251.46.1 - 10.251.46.64, and in
Texas they use 10.251.46.129 - 10.251.46.192.  All of these use a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.192.  Anyway, the problem is that the Linksys router is
configured with an IP address in the Garrettsville range (and it works so
nicely here), and no one from either of the other subnets can ping the
router (we get timeouts).

The Linksys router has a section for configuring static routing (which is
what I think I need), but it wants to know the "network address" of the
remote network, the network mask (255.255.255.192, the only one I know), and
the gateway IP (which is the IP address of our router here that connects us
to the other subnets, right?).  This is from the Linksys web site:

<begin quote>

To create a static route entry:

Select a Static Route Entry from the drop down list. The device supports up
to 20 static route entries.

Enter the following data for the static route:

Destination LAN IP : Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment.
For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first 3 fields
of the Destination LAN IP, while the last field should be 0.

Network Mask : Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain.
For Class C IP domain, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.

Gateway IP : If the Linksys router is the main IP router to connect your
network to the Internet, then your Gateway IP is the same IP Address as the
Linksys router. If you have another router handling your network's Internet
connection, enter the IP Address of your main Internet router here instead.

Now, our network looks like this:

#1:  Garrettsville_LAN ---> Router_to_other_LANS ---> WAN (Frame relay,
Fractional T1)
#2:  Garrettsville_LAN ---> Linksys_router ---> Internet_router ---> ISP
(Fractional T1)

The other locations look like #1 above.  For all PC's on the LAN, we use the
IP address of the "Router_to_other_LANS" as the gateway IP address.  What I
want to do is give the remote LAN's internet access via the frame relay to
the router here in Garrettsville.

Any ideas?
