Ethernet Gateway Problem on 3/260

I am having a problem that I have been unable to resolve for a while, and
I'm hoping someone in netland can show me the obvious fix. We have a
3/260 with two ethernet boards. One board(ie0) is connected via thinnet
to a diskless 3/60. The other board(ie1) is connected to various other
computers. The 3/260 can talk to anyone on either net, but the 3/60 can
only talk to the 3/260. It can however ping both ie0 and ie1 on the
3/260. I am using subnetting, and netmasks are set 0xffffff00 everywhere.
On 3/260 ie0 is 129.162.161.11 and ie1 is 129.162.160.4, while the 3/60 is
129.162.161.10.
Apparently the 3/260 is not properly acting as a gateway -- i.e. packets
from the 3/60 that are intended to go beyond the 3/260 never get there. I
have tried flushing the routing table and setting only the default (from
the 3/60 the default gateway is the 3/260, from the 3/260 it is another
gateway hung off of ie1).
What am I missing????? Please e-mail any words of wisdom to the address
below.
