Have you setup routing on the client machines, or ascertained they are correctly receiving routes from routed? A simple 'netstat -rn' (or 'route print' if they are M$ machines) will reveal if your router has correctly advertised its routes. If you try to ping a mcahine on the 5 network from a machine on the 2 network, do any routes get added? If not, can you manually add a route (you'll need to do this to the machines on both networks) and get a ping through? -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
