    If all three computers A, C and D are on the the same subnet (ie
    192.168.1.0) and with the same subnet mask (ie 255.255.255.0), then
    computers A and C should have the same default gateway. Which should be
    the IP Address of the NIC directly attached to the same 192.168.1.0
    network. With IP Forwarding turned on for computer D, it's default
    gateway (route) should be set, on the second NIC, to the nearest
    upstream router.
