1. If the machines on each subnet use the Win 2003 machine's attached IP as
a default gateway, then no static route is necessary. If the gateway is
properly set and computers on one subnet cannot ping addresses on the other
subnet, then most likely LAN routing is not properly configured in RRAS on
the Win 2003 machine.
2. If machines use some default gateway other than the Win 2003 machine,
then you need static routes. You can configure these on the default gateway
router or on each individual machine.
3. If #2 is the case, try this test: On a workstation on subnet x open a
command prompt and enter:
route add <networkIPofsubnet y> mask<subnetmaskofsubnet y> <IPaddressof
Win2003>
eg. If the Win 2003's NICs were 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1, a machine on
the 192.168.0.0 subnet would need this command:
route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
If this works, you can make the route permanent by using 'route -p add'
