Thanks to those that replied (And there were many) to summarize
the reponses:

1) Make sure your ipforwarding flag is up in your kernel. This is usually
   the default.
2) Make sure your netmask is set properly this is the root of most
   difficulties (at least mine). If you are running two class C networks
   128.252.123.XXX and 128.252.145.XXX you have to have the net masks on both
   sides (And on all computers to be 255.255.255.0.
3) Make sure everey host knows where to send packets. This can be done by
   activating in.routed or by manually specifying routes using the route
   command.

				   Thanks again
