Are you trying to give the Xbox Internet access through the Vista PC?
The "route" command can't do that.
Here are two possible solutions:
1. Configure the wireless router to use a subnet other than
192.168.0.x, then set up ICS.
or:
2. Create a Network Bridge between the Vista PC's Ethernet and
wireless network connections:
a. Open the Network Connections folder.
b. Ctrl-Click both connections.
c. Right-click one of them.
d. Click "Bridge Connections".
I've written a web page describing how network bridging works in
Windows XP, and it's the same in Vista:
XP ICS - Network Bridge
