	In 1.1.5.1 I had 3 3c509 in different sub-nets, I had compiled with
the GATEWAY option.

	In 2.0R I don't have the GATEWAY option. I have just 2 3c509
configured and I don't have any problems to see the hosts on each side.

	How have you configured the (both) cards?
 
	Can you ping the interface itself?
