three things come to mind.

(1) does the netgear have a route to 192.168.255.0/24 through
192.168.0.2?  does the netgear have nat rules to handle the
192.168.255.0/24 netblock?

(2) what about not using 192.168.255.0/24, but instead having the ppp
server hand out an address from 192.168.0.0/24 and doing proxyarp for
it so that the other machines can talk to it?

(3) do you need bidirectional communications with the netbsd ppp
client machine?  if it only needs to connect out (and the win2k
machine, for example, won't need to connect back to it), then you
could run nat on the netbsd ppp server, right?
