OK, I should really refer to your original diagram, but it appears you set
it up with the arp command...  on the system that 192.168.0.7 is going to
be hiding behind, you need the MAC address of 192.168.0.5...

arp -s 192.168.0.7 <mac-address-of-192.168.0.5> pub

and set the routing table on 192.168.0.[5/6] so that *it* knows which
interface to use to get to .7.  The arp command tells the system to create
an ARP table entry for that machine and publish it so the other machines
on your LAN can see it.

I've only done this with SLIP/PPP connections before, so I'd be interested
to hear if it works.

Cheers

Richard
