NOTES:
1. This assumes all boxes run Linux. windoze boxes will be similar, but
the command will be different, and the display more confusing.
2. You don't mention distributions or versions, so I can't tell you what
file to edit, or what tool to use to get the above configuration.
3. On computer2, the route to 192.168.1.0 isn't really _required_ as it
is covered by the default.
4. The router must be forwarding packets AND MASQUERADING (also called
NAT) to allow packets out to the world.
