See at your address and netmask : they say that your network is 192.30.2.0 and your boradcast address is 192.30.2.255 . Only machine that have IP address from 192.30.2.1 to 192.30.2.254 can talk between them. You need to configure an internetwork interface to belong to 205 network and configure your machine as a gateway On the other hand you can configure router as gateway or configure router to do NAT (Network Address Translation) .
