[MLB-WIRELESS] Routing and AP mode WNIC

Hi again....
Below is the routing table of my proxy server (486DX50/20MB RAM laptop,
running Windows 95B since 1999, 24/7 with less than a handful of
crashes!).

192.168.0.2 is the ethernet interface
192.168.0.20 is the wireless interface (default gateway 192.168.0.2)
Orinoco card running in AP mode
139.130.60.169 is the modem interface

I added the route: 192.168.0.20  255.255.255.255  192.168.0.2
192.168.0.2  1
manually.

Why can't I ping 192.168.0.20 from any of the machines connected to the
ethernet interface, or 192.168.0.2 form the machine connected to the
WLAN?
What am I missing? I know I can't route NETBEUI (which I use for network
browsing and filesharing - NETBIOS is turned off and file and printer
sharing is bound to NETBEUI), but I thought I should be able to pass
TCP/IP packets between the interfaces...
I have no trouble TCP/IP traffic running between the modem interface and
either of the other two (Internet access on ethernet and WLAN via Sambar
proxy server).... DO I need a "proxy" or "bridge" program to do the same
between the two others?
An explanation would be helpful.
Cheers,
Joe
