connecting two lans

I have two networks 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x basicly pc's on one and voip phones on the other each have there own gateway and internet connection192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1. I am using a cisco 2600 with two nics to connect the two networks and route betwen the two 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.2.254. i have added routes on each gateway like 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.254 and can ping to the other gateway 192.168.1.1 form 192.168.2.x but I cant ping any other ips on that side like a pc at 192.168.1.2 unless I add the route to the pc I'm useing on the 192.168.2.x side. how can I do this with out having to add the route to each pc?

just a random shot at it since i dont know much about cisco devices. Does some kind of NAT need to be configured?

Update, I have a centos box on 192.168.1x network and it can get to anywhere on the other network with out adding the route to it, just from having the route in the gatway router on its side, so looks like a windows problem.

Please provide the running configuration, stripped of any sensitive detail (passwords, even if encrypted and one octet of public IP addressing masked).

You have to configure all pcs to have a default gw!
PCs on 192.168.1.x shoudl have gw 192.168.1.254 (the IP of the router interface) and the PCS on 192.168.2x should have 192.168.2.254

All pc's have a gateway, maybe this will help:
192.168.1.x
192.168.1.1 smoothwall gateway to the net, added route 192.168.2.0 -255.255.255.0 -192.168.1.254
192.168.1.254 cisco 2611 eth0

192.168.2.x
192.168.2.1 wrt-54g gateway to the net, added route 192.168.1.0 -255.255.255.0 -192.168.2.254
192.168.2.254 cisco 2611 eth1

heres my config on the 2611, remeber this is just for a bridge.

I found that with two dd-wrts routers it works fine, must be some thing with the added route on the smoothwall.
