static routes

hello,

I have setup a site to site vpn. i am having a problem with create routes.

if I add a static route to a laptop via windows as follows:

route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

I am able to ping the other network. I figured that I could just add that static route on the firewall that the site to site vpn is setup on and it would also function the same way but it doesnt. if I add:

route inside 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1 1

none of the machines can see the network. all the machines are using the pix as their default gateway. if i remove the static route from the firewall and re-add the static route back to the windows machine, it functions fine.

any ideas?

can you post a diagram of your how you got this implemented.

i was able to get it to work by clearing the route table on each laptop (route -f) followed by ipconfig /release and renew. Once this was done the remote office was able to ping and communicate with the main office.
