I did it. It was not working: could not ping 192.168.2.138 from 
192.168.0.114.  Then I added a static route

-net 192.168.2.0 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

and it started to work. But here is something I still do not understand. 
The given gateway 192.168.0.1 was already the default gateway. Why do I 
need to add another gateway to the routing table to make it work? I have 
similar installations and specifing one default gateway did the work so far.

Thanks,
