If I understand you correctly, I think that is my set up, including with IP forwarding turned on. Below is my version of ASCII art, with more detail. I think it shows what you're talking about.

The laptop NIC has .3.1 as its default gateway, the PC NIC has .2.2 as its default gateway, and the three NICs on the Samba server (.1.2, .2.2, and .3.1) all have, because of the way YaST does this, the Linksys as their default gateway. I think I'd like to have .2.2 and .3.1 each have .1.2 as their default gateway, but I don't know how to do that. The Hubs exist because of the physical layout of my office, not, unfortunately, through any special acumen on my part. However, each hub has only its computer and default gateway NIC plugged into it.
Do you really want these boxes to have ~.1.2 as their gateway? This, after all, if I have read your earlier diagram right, is the outgoing interface of the Samba PDC. I think you mean ~.1.1, your outgoing router. I think this can be done, if you set an explicit route to ~.1.1 on each box via which ever interface of the Samba PDC it is connected.
