Trying To Setup A Larger Subnet, But I'm Doing Something Wrong....

[The Jetman]

    I have a working 4.5-RELEASE system that's been acting as my Internet 
gateway for many months now, thank you very much.  It's a NATing system 
using (til now) the 192.168.0.0/24 private net internally.  I want to 
expand this subnet, to encompass the entire 192.168.1 net as well.

    I have changed my router's internal iface to use the 0xfffffe00 netmask 
and just one of my boxes (also a FBSD box) so that it has an IP of 
192.168.1.10 and the same netmask its partner, the gateway.  The 
defaultrouter stmt in the new (192.168.1.10) box is the same 192.168.0.250.  
As far as I know, this is supposed to be working as of now, but it isn't.  
I can't even PING the router.  I don't think this is relevant, but the test 
box also acts as a bridge under normal circumstances.  (Using it as opposed 
to a Windows box, bec I can reconfig it more quickly during testing.)

    Tried to manually create a route that points to 192.168.0.250 (using 
the ROUTE cmd), but no joy.

    Any suggestions are welcome....Jet
