routing devices not doing what they're supposed to be doing

i'm a bit rusty here, so i would appreciate any help.

i'm using a pix501/6.3 and an allied telesis AT-9924T/2.7.6 (layer 3)

i have two vlans in the setup, one for the servers (192.168.1xx) and the other for the workstations (192.168.2xx). i have RIPv2 running on the the pix501 and AT-9924. they both broadcast and receive routes.

here's the pix:
Code:
inside 192.168.2xx.xxx 255.255.xxx.xxx 192.168.1xx.xxx 1 RIP

here's the AT-9924:
Code:
0.0.0.0           0.0.0.0           192.168.1xx.227     vlanxxx           48353
                  remote   0        rip        -        2                   400

i can ping the 192.168.2... network from the pix without any issues.

the problem is between the win7 workstations and win2k8r2 servers. they cannot communicate across the networks/vlans unless i enter a static route into each system.

i've been out of this field for a while, so i'm quite rusty, but i thought routing protocols handled all the routing details, and that the servers and workstations could be ignorant of the other networks because the layer 3 devices stored the routing tables and would route the traffic to and from the appropriate networks.

does anyone have any idea why this isn't working? any suggestions of what i should do to fix things?

while i know i can just take the time and put in static routes in all the devices, that is not what i want to do. i want to understand why this isn't working and then fix it.

again, thanks in advance for any help.
