Subject:   Routing between two subnets

I know this should be an easy one but I seem to be hopelessly stuck.

I have a new installation of FreeBSD.  I have two network cards in the 
machine and both are functioning.  They reside on two separate subnets.  I 
am trying to get the FreeBSD machine to route between the two subnets.  I 
am running FreeBSD 2.2.2.  I have gateway_enable="YES", router_enable="YES" 
router="routed" and route_flags="-s".

Using ficticious numbers I have subnet 10.1.1.96 one one side of the 
machine and 10.2.1.96 on the other side.  Both with a 27 bit mask (I know 
it shouldn't matter).  Let's say that the FreeBSD machine is 10.1.1.97 and 
10.2.1.97.  From the 10.1.1.96 network I can ping 10.2.1.97 but I can't 
ping any other addresses on the 10.2.1.96 network.  From the 10.2.1.96 
network I can't even ping 10.1.1.97, which is really baffling.

If anyone sees anything I could possibly have done wrong or has any 
suggestions on how to track down the problem I would really appreciate it.
