Answer Wiki:
Think about it. How is the path to your xxxx.1.1 network ??? Your gateway is routing you out to internet. Thats why you can ping yahoo ..... If you want to ping xxx1.1 network then you need another route (gateway) showing you the path to this network.

either you add another gateway for the other 192.168.1.* network or you need to create a way for your current gateway to connect to the other network. the latter is from a client configuration point of few the easiest.

right now your gateway doesn’t know how to reach the other network, but it does know how to reach the internet.

Something else to consider–the 192.168.x.x networks are not routable. When you’re pinging the internet, your router is NAT’ing (NAT–network address translation) your address to an address that is routable. When you’re trying to go from a 192.168.1.x to a 192.168.0.x address, it’s not enough to simply provide a gateway or a static route–you’ll probably have to NAT the addresses between the two subnets. To do that, you’ll have to introduce at least one more router to the mix.
