the hosts are on the same subnet(this is just a lab for my cisco class). but i read somewhere that says that if you set up a secondary ip on the router, they should be able to ping each other. here is the setup we have going here:

Cisco 2501 router(E0 = 192.5.5.1) > Cisco Catalyst 2800 switch ( 2 VLANS w/ ip addresses of 192.5.5.3 and .4) > host 1(192.5.5.10) and host 2(192.5.5.11)

i configured the router with a secondary ip of 192.5.5.2 but the two hosts still cant ping each other.

does this have anything to do with the firmware? there is standard edition and enterprise edition, we have standard here. any help would be great.

thanks ^dan
