There are three computers in this LAN: two with Linux and the other one with Windows. Things got a little complicated when the Windows-box replaced another Linux-system and I had to buy a second ethernet card for the central server. Now the configuration is as follows: 192.168.65.72 [L], 192.168.65.65 and 192.168.64.64 [L server], 192.168.64.1 [W]. The Windows box is connected to the central server's ethernet card with the address 192.168.64.64. Currently, only 192.168.65.72 has a modem. I want to transfer it to the server shortly, but I've been playing with it as it is now. So 192.168.65.72 connects to the Internet and 192.168.65.65 can use it as a gateway. That's OK. Now the Windows box can only connect to the server, but cannot ping 192.168.65.72 and it cannot connect to the Internet -- I think the problem is that I don't know how to add the correct route to it. Can anyone suggest what to do?

With this configuration, 192.168.65.72 cannot ping 192.168.64.1, but it is able to when I add this route: route add default gw 192.168.65.65. Of course, this way 192.168.65.72 cannot ping google.com.
