How can I configure the Suse Linux router to allow me to connect to the printer?

Hi
I am trying to configure what I thought was straight forward simple routing, but I can't get it to work!!

I have two pc's on a common ethernet switched network connected to my ADSL router as follows...

WinPC     172.16.6.2   gw 172.16.16.1
LinuxPC router (Sues Linux) dual NICS     172.16.6.1,  10.0.0.20  gw 10.0.0.254
Printer 10.0.0.17
ADSL router 10.0.0.254

The good:
- WinPC can access the internet :-)

The bad:
- WinPC can't ping 10.0.0.17!!?  How can I fix this?

LinxuPC route table and ifconfig looks like this at the moment:
Destination   Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
172.26.0.0      *                       255.255.0.0     U        0      0        0  vmnet1

I feel that the issue must be with the linuxPC...I look forward to the expert's advice.
