If I have this right you have a router which connects to a Mac over
wifi. From the back of this Mac you have an ethernet connection which
you have connected to the server Mac.

The SB3 is connected by ethernet to the router.

The subnet mask value is important here. I am going to assume that it
is 255.255.255.0 as this is most likely the default with the addresses
you have given.

To make this work will require a couple of things. But first a
question. Can the server Mac communicate with the ethernet?

If it can then I am going to presume that the non server Mac has had
routing configured on it (in Windows terms it might be called Internet
connection sharing).

In this case it would be necessary to tell the router that network
192.168.10.0 is available via 192.168.1.3 Unfortunately not many home
type routers have this capability. Even then it may not work as I
believe that the SB3 uses a broadcast to find the server and this won't
pass between networks.

An alternative would be to reconfigure the non server Mac from being a
router to being a bridge. Subnet mask again comes into this but
assuming you keep it at 255.255.255.0 then give the ethernet port on
the non server Mac and the ethernet port on the server Mac an IP
address in the 192.168.1.x range. Not one that is already in use and
not one that is within the DHCP range of the router. 

With bridging configured this should work.

This isn't an easy configuration and relies on the non server Mac being
on all the time. It might be simpler to reverse the roles of the two
Macs if you can. 

Instead of moving the Macs can you move the router and it's internet
connection?

Unfortunately I can't help you with OS X commands as I've never used it
and it is years since I did it on Unix.
