The netmask for each should be their respective Class C netmasks or
255.255.255.0.
A Class B (the later above) netmask, would be that 207.240.x.x is all
local, which
is NOT the case.

You need to have a machine (Like a Cisco router) as your default router
on each subnet
and machines will go THROUGH the router to get between subnets (unless
their have
an IP address in each subnet.
