Although the device you are connected to is a router, what you are 
actually using is the built in n-way switch. I presume the subnet mask 
in use is 255.255.255.0 ? If so all three addresses are on the same 
network subnet and you don't need to set any routes on the systems, the 
two PCs should "see" each other. Perhaps if you are executing a route 
command this is causing the problem ?
