Two solutions. FIrst, your netmask for de0 is wrong, and should be
255.255.0.0. That might not do it however.

You're probably getting a 192.168/16 address from the dhcp server that
you're dealing with.  Try switching your addresses to the 10/8 or
172/16/12. In other words, change

ifconfig_de0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"

to

ifconfig_de0="inet 10.168.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0"

and do the same thing for any other machines that you have.
