    Hi Nils, well your guess is a big help to me! I did one set of route 
add and had to use route del to destroy them. But now I again know how 
to do this. What my routes look like with just one added route by is:

karl at karl-hardy:~$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
192.168.2.0     192.168.0.3     255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 eth0
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0
default         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

This does not work. And I worry about routes 1, which I wrote, route 2 
conflicting since they have the same Genmask.

    Now when I try to ping the laptop 192.168.2.5 I get:


karl at karl-hardy:~$ ping 192.168.2.5
PING 192.168.2.5 (192.168.2.5) 56(84) bytes of data.
 From 192.168.0.4 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
 From 192.168.0.4 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
 From 192.168.0.4 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
 From 192

This makes me think it is trying to use the new route but it is not working.

    I really can't see anything wrong. Do you? By the way the Gateway 
really is 192.168.0.3
