If you have created the networks using vlans on a switch you may also be able to create a static route to the other networks. Please provide more information on the equipment at your disposal.

It depends on the devices used to interconnect the networks. If you are connecting router-to-router then you can use a compatible routing protocol like RIP, IGRP, OSPF or the like. If you are using layer 3 switches then you can set up VLANs and a trunk link between the switches. Please respond and give as much detail as you can on the devices.

Since you say you have two IP nets connected by a CAT5 cable, I assume you are running both logical networks on the same “wire”. If this is true, you either have to add a router as described in other responses or pull the subnet mask out on all systems so the devices can see both “nets” as a single net, without having to use a router.
You didn’t say why you are running two networks. The normal reasons are partitioning for security or to limit broadcast traffic. If either if these is true, then you should separate these nets with a router or layer3 switch.
Assuming you add a router to keep these nets apart:
Configure the router to have valid addresses and masks on both nets using the appropriate interfaces.
Configure each host to have a proper subnet mask for its network.
Configure each host to use the router IP on its network as its default gateway.
Any router with interfaces on two or more subnets doesn’t need a routing protocol to allow communication between these subnets. It already knows how to forward packets to any network it is directly connected to. On the other hand, if you want to reach the internet or a network behind another router, you will have to configure static or dynamic routing. Based on your description, this isn’t needed.
Is this sufficient information?

Looks to me like homework…..
1. Router
2. Nothing required
