Kendall,

  I think you are right.  Without the routes (On the 400 pointing to the
NT machine for access to the Enet, and on the ethernet machines pointing
to NT for access to the AS/400) there is no way for the traffic to cross
over.

  If this were all connected via routers, you would already have a
default gateway setup on all machines. In this case the routers
(gateways) would pass this information along to each other and the
traffic would flow.  With NT as the 'router' you need to manually do
this.
