Both, really. Since youâre behind a router, Iâd start by turning
iptables off, and then
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
as root (I believe).

You will need bootp finally: understood. But for the moment, it means
youâre trying to fix way too much at the same time. A basic principal of
troubleshooting is to minimize the complexity of what youâre working
with at the moment.
If youâve got anything else that can take a static IP address, give it
one on the 192.168.1/24 network, turn off firewalls (except on the
Netgear), and check that you can get between that device and the
Netgear.
You may want to use the route command to check: on the 192.168.1/24
network, everything (*apart* from the laptop) should have a default
gateway of 192.168.1.142 (*IF* that is the laptop).
On the 192.168.0/24 network, things are more complex. Most of them will
have a default gateway of 192.168.0.1 (for the Netgear). The Netgear
itself will need to know that 192.168.1/24 is behind 192.168.0.140. On
my Netgear, thatâs set under Advanced -> Static Routes. The Destination
IP Address should be 192.168.1.0, the IP Subnet Mask will be
255.255.255.0, the Gateway IP Address will be 192.168.0.140, and it
really doesnât matter what the Metric is.
You will also have to set something similar on any other 192.168.0/24
devices which will need to access the 192.168.1/24 subnet. In
NetworkManager, thereâs an Edit button per interface, an IPv4 Settings
tab behind that, and a Routes button.
Hope this helps,
James.
