routing problems - cannot ping hosts

[TechTryer]

I am very new in this field and i apologize if i insult your intelligence

My internal network is like so: -

10.200.x.x/16 ---->[f0/1] Cisco2611 [f0/0] <--- 10.1.x.x/16

This cisco router has f0/0 and f0/1

i am trying to ping a host on 10.200.x.x from the other side and the request keeps timing out.
However, i can ping the interfaces on the router successfully
f0/0 10.1.7.1
f0/1 10.200.1.1

I have static routes and ip routing enabled

Have i missed something out.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

TechTryer,
The problem may not be your router. Do you have a default gateway configured on the device you initiate the ping from. Its default gateway should be the f0/0 interface of your router (10.1.7.1). Likewise for the host on the other side (10.200.x.x), its default gateway should be f0/1, if you want the ping to return. You should perform a trace route to determine at what point the ping is failing at.

Thanks for your quick reply, realy appreciated.
However my default gateway is another router on the 10.1.x.x/16 network which has an ip route as follows when i do a 'show ip route'

D 10.200.0.0/16 [90/30720] via 10.1.7.1, 20:49:59, Vlan8

Could it be something with my access-lits no allowing the ping echos and replys to get through?

Cheers

I managed to find the problem, modified my access lists and changed the default gateway of the host i wa trying to connect to.

Thank you so much mate, for all the advice.
You have really made my day!
