I think the diagram got a little garbled in my mail reader, but if the 192.168.100.0 network is on the other network interface of 'Router' (192.168.1.2) then the following applies. The default route in a machine is the route that is used after all other routes have been checked. For machines in the 192.168.1.0 network to have connectivity to the 192.168.100.0 network, add a network route to 192.168.100.0 with the next hop gateway as 192.168.1.2. For machines on the 192.168.100.0 network, because (if I understand your network's topology correctly) connectivity to all other networks is through 'Router', a default route with the next hop gateway being the 192.168.100.x network interface on 'Router' will suffice for them. Hope this helps...
