[WT-support] Need a little networking help

I have the first 4 systems set up now.  They are networked together and that is working just fine.
My wintest computers are set up as follows (basically by the book):
IP 192.168.0.x  (x of course is different all each computer)
SUBNET 255.255.255.0
All are plugged into the same network switch (switch B).
My wtdxtelnet is also set up to broadcast on 192.168.0.255.
Everything is done just as it should be done.

Problem:  I cannot seem to get internet into the WT computers for dx cluster spots.

Here is my home network setup:
In the house there is a router.
>From the router there is a LAN cable running out to the radio building.
In the radio building there is a switch (switch A) which is where the LAN cable from the house plugs in.
>From that switch (A) are a couple of computers that are used for general internet stuff.
But....when I plug up the LAN cable from switch A to the wintest switch (B) I have no internet access and therefore cannot connect to the dx cluster.
Should I set up a default gateway on the wintest computers in the shack?
Should I also set up DHCP server  on the wintest computers in the shack?
My default gateway and DHCP servers on my regular internet computers all show the same address.
For example:  192.168.2.2

Any networking expert out there that could give me some tips?
