I did the ping test from the main router to a computer on one of the old
routers and all the pings timed out.

The MFM is a Toshiba eStudio T352 and it just says error sending file. It
is setup to scan to a file and save on \\computer name\shared folder that is
located behind one of the old routers that is on 192.168.0.3 This is also
the IP that I tried to ping.

I tried adding a new static route and switching the destination and gateway
IP addresses but the gateway feild would not except a "0" for the last octate.

The printer is in a different subnet than the computers, so it can't
access them using their computer names. Use their IP addresses, e.g.
\\192.168.0.3\shared folder

For the same reason, pinging by computer name won't work. Ping the
computers using their IP addresses.

So, all of the computers must have static IP addresses.
