i can see that some of these computers are in different subnets.... is there any need for this?.... my advice would be to stick them all in the same subnet (for example 192.168.0.*) unless there is a need for this in VMware (i haven't used it....)

OR

Configure the routers routing table to allow traffic to pass between the different subnets properly.

You have a lot of information here!, so i hope that this is the problem and you can now solve it!

Let me see if I understand it properly:

subnet 1: 192.168.0.* (my router 192.168.0.1, linux machine 2: 192.168.0.3, windows machine 1: 192.168.0.2)
subnet 2: 192.168.196.* (VmWare Vmnet8 Linux Machine 3: 192.168.196.131)
subnet 3: 192.168.183.*

What I need to do is put these entries into my linux iptables and into my router:

On machine 2 linux FC6:
if destination: 192.168.196.131 then send it to 192.168.0.1 (my router on subnet 1)

On my router:
if destination: 192.168.196.131 then send it to 192.168.196.* (subnet 2)

Am I right so far?

you certainly are! so this is probably the new stuff you should add in: (i've tweaked it a bit)

Code:
machine 2:
Destination    Gateway     mask            Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.196.0  192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0   UG    0      0   0 eth0

router:
Destination     Gateway             mask 
192.168.196.0   192.168.196.131     255.255.255.0
There is something, however, that is bugging me about this - i can't quite put my finger on it though, i'll try and have another look for anything else that might need to be included.
