First, this is not an Ethernet question. You should ask in a TCP/IP
newsgroup for details. However, using public ip addresses not assigned to
you (192.178.1.0/24) is bad practice and calls for trouble.

This again is not even a TCP/IP question but a Windows name resolution
question. Use an appropriate Windows group for details. Using a local WINS
or a DNS server might help.
However, the Ethernet answer for this is: you have to bridge your networks,
not route them. Deactivate the DHCP server on your linksys and use the
preconfigured bridging functionalities (i.e. interconnect the "lan" ports
of your devices). By doing so you will end up with a single IP subnet and a
single broadcast domain, fixing your name resolution problem since Windows
uses broadcast protocols for resolution of local names.
