A machine with an IP of 10.0.36.x won't be able to talk to 172.16.11.x unless routing is set up properly.

That's not the problem here. Box1 has two NICs, one on each network.

It's really not necessary to have physically separate NICs (unless this is a security or capacity issue), but that's neither here nor there for this problem.

You'll need to set-up box1 to route between the subnets. It doesn't do that by default.

You didn't say where the MySQL server is. Box2? So, a workstation connected to Box1 wants to access the MySQL server on Box2?
