Hi

- Check how many HOPs you have to reach from one LAN to another LAN.
- Check you routing table for correct values of all the networks.
- try to increase the TTL value using the -i parameter with the ping command.

Good Luck !!!

What does traceroute show? If it starts to show the same IP/hostname multiple times it means you have a routing loop around there.

That being the case you have to fix the routing loop because even making the TTL 255 (the maximum) won't help you.
