If B and C can talk to each other, you probably have everything working
inside the box. Do you have a dynamic routing protocol (such as RIP or
OSPF) runnning on B, and are the network routers between B and A
listening to updates from B?

The machines like A need to know that C can be reached via B. This can
be announced via a dynamic routing protocol or by placing static routes
in the network between A and B.  The best solution is to enable dynamic
routing on B and allow it to announce routing information to the network
for C.

Talk with your networking people and see which they would prefer.
