Exactly what I was thinking. That is why I sugested he send the outputs of ifconfig and route to make sure that the terms he was using were correct. There may be a reason that they need to be on two subnets but if so there should be a router between them. Otherwise, as you suggest, simply giving them both an ipaddress oin the same subnet would indeed fix the problem and clean up the mess.
