Windows 7 setup routing between 2 networks

Question

Situation:

               | access point | wi-fi     |   my machine |           | 2-nd machine |
               |  192.168.1.1 | --------- | 192.168.1.37 | Ethernet  |              |
Internet ----  | 76.77.15.87  |           |  192.168.0.1 | --------- | 192.168.0.2  |

I have 2 computers:

The 1-st is connected to the Internet through wi-fi interface. Network: 192.168.1.0/24 default gateway: 192.168.1.1 (IP of the wi-fi access point). It works.

Now I have another machine, connected to mine through the Ethernet interface. Here I have a second network with 2 machines: 192.168.0.0/24:

1. mine 192.168.0.1
2. other machine: 192.168.0.2 default gateway 192.168.0.1

ping between the machines works. ping google.com on the 2-nd machine doesn't work.

Now I need to setup the route between the internal and external networks on my machine.

I don't know, what default gateway should I setup on 192.168.0.1 machine for 192.168.0.0 network, because my machine is the default gateway for this network. I tried

route add 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

Your route statement isn't what you want. The 192.168.1.1 router isn't the gateway for the 192.168.0.0/24 network (which is what your route statement says-- it's flat wrong).

You'll want to place a route on the 192.168.1.1 wireless router to give it a route to the 192.168.0.0/24 network via the 192.168.1.37 PC.

You'll also need to enable IP routing on the Windows 7 PC to get it to forward packets.

Answer 2

You must share wireless connection in your machine and set dns in 2nd machine as: 192.168.0.1

then try to ping as follows:

192.168.0.1
192.168.1.37
192.168.1.1

then ping the ip you obtained from pinging www.google.com at your machine in the 2nd machine. if you set dns correctly you must get reply in all pings.
