Ive been struggling for a while to get traffic moving through a bridge using static routes. I would prefer to avoid using the network bridging in windows (even though it works when i do try and use it) as I want to keep the networks I have set up on different subnets.

The basic setup is:

router
(wireless) 192.168.1.254
|
(wireless) 192.168.1.85
laptop
(ethernet) 192.168.0.1
|
(ethernet)
switch
(ethernet)

|
(ethernet) 192.168.0.2
normal pc

the reason i have this setup is the normal pc has no room for expansion for wireless. I have tried a number of different usb wireless adapters but so far they all overheat and crash.

the progress so far is to use:
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 on the normal pc
with this added I can ping and trace to the router, if i try to ping google then it gets the ip address (dns working) but no response to the actual ping. I can ping/trace fine from the laptop in the middle which makes me think im missing some static routes on the laptop.

Any ideas what I am missing?
