how to route between two IP nets on the same physical ethernet

[Tom Vijlbrief]

Problem:

How can I access a host on a different IP network which is on the
same physical ethernet as my own host ?

Own host: tnosoes (network izf-tno)
Other host: izfgate

I tried: route add host izfgate tnosoes 0

After which netstat -r shows:

Routing tables
Destination          Gateway              Flags    Refcnt Use        Interface
izfgate              tnosoes              UH       0      0          ie0
localhost            localhost            UH       6      895129     lo0
izf-tno              tnosoes              U        41     3646099    ie0

But I cannot ping izfgate !!!

What did I do wrong ?

Thanks in advance !
