So your network is basically:
| |
| |
+--- Router X --+
| |
| |
| +--- Router Y --- The Internet
| |
| |
Net A Net B
You have routing between Net A and Net B via Router X. Now you want to
route between Net A and the Internet. You must make certain that the
*entire Internet* knows that Router Y is the route to Net A; this is
typically done by your ISP. You must also make sure that Router Y
knows that Router X is the route the Net A; if you can ping Router Y
right now, this is already setup.
