Wow Dude you used 23 bits in that last octet netmask on eth0.
Thats just wrong...well pointless actually.

Here is a cool online subnet calculator:
http://txweb.tactix.com/subnet.html

This is the wrong newsgroup for this question.
Try: comp.dcom.sys.cisco

Go back and redo your subnetting.
Hint: borrow less bits.

Then start from layer 1 when you set up the two routers and any hosts on
each subnetwork.

Then start on layer 2.
Enable routing, keep it simple ie: RIP

http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/browse/psp_view.pl?p=Internetworking:RIP

Seriously dude, wipe out whatever lame config is on those routers and
start from layer 1 again.

Good Luck
