Really not enough information...  We'd want to see the whole
configuration file for the gateway.  Probably the firewall rules, too.

Is it like I outlined?  The gateway with the two interfaces, with each
interface on the two different subnets, with appropriate addresses on
each?  The clients on each subnet having gateway addresses like my
example? et cetera, et cetera...

The .254 ending address is nothing special.  It's a common address to
use, but it doesn't configure the device to work in a special way.

When you change device configurations around, are you restarting the
networks so they actually do read the configuration?

Have you got the right patch leads between devices?  (Straight-through
or cross-overs, where required.)

First tests would be clients pinging their gateway, gateway pinging
their clients.  Before you try clients pinging through the gateway to
clients the other side.

How's the gateway going to work?  As a router?  NATing?

Are you IPv4-only?

You mentioned webmin, something I've only played with many years ago,
and gave up because it added its own complications to things.  You're
probably better off directly working with the configuration files while
you learn how to do this.  Later on using something like that as a
convenience device.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
