[CUWiN] circular route

Hello,

I have the following setup:
(internet)--(Router A)--<LAN A>--(Node A)~~~(Node Z)--<LAN Z>

- Router A provides DHCP for LAN A
- Node Z provides DHCP for LAN Z
- A computer on LAN A has a static route for LAN Z pointing to Node A'a
  address on LAN A.

I can ping from computesr on LAN Z to LAN A, but trying to do the
opposite, pinging form LAN A to LAN Z seems to reveal a circular route
somewhere. Any ideas how I could start troubleshooting this?



i.e.:

Node A = 192.168.42.22, on 192.168.42.0/24, internet/dhcp from linksys rtr
Node Z = 10.216.103.254, on 10.216.103.0/24, dhcp from cuw node

mylaptop_on_A$ sudo route add -net 10.216.103.0/24 gw 192.168.42.22

mylaptop_on_A$ ping 10.216.103.252
