You've now forced a route so all traffic for the 192.168.0.0 network
goes through the router on the other network.  In fact, that shouln't
work since they're different networks.

As I recall, you have one network, 192.168.9.x/255.255.255.0 (or /24)
which contains your Linux box AND a router that talks to the internet
via NAT.

You also have a second network, 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0 (or /24)
that also has a router, with its LAN port on this 192.168.1.x network
and its WAN port on the other 192.168.9.x network.

You should configure the Linux box as follows:

	route add default gw 192.168.9.address-of-internet-router

That sets the default route to go out over the internet

	route add net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
		gw 192.168.9.address-of-bridge-router's-WAN-port

And that sets up the route to the second network via the second router.

The easiest way is, as root, use "redhat-config-time".  Tbis is the
same tool that was used initially if you installed in GUI mode.

When it comes up, click on the "Timezone" tab and select your desired
timezone.

Thanks!  I'll pass on the flowers--I have allergies!
