Yes I realize about the 10.0... and 192.168.... not being routed matter.
Previosly I always setup the network but never run out of IP address in
the same range(192.168.0.*). It happened this time. Therefore I created
the 192.168.1.* network but now it wont route. I can use NAT for that
purpose but that would defeat communication between the 192.168.1.* and
192.168.0.* networks(there are a bunch of ftp and samba file/print servers
in the 1.* network).

I mean if I use nat:
192.168.0.* Connect > 192.168.1.* = No success
192.168.0.* < Connect 192.168.1.* = Success
