I have a computer, C, a router, R, and a Raspberry Pi, P.  They are connected: Internet R P C Now I want C to be able to access the internet. The P has wlan0 and eth0, so my first thought was to bridge eth0 and wlan0, but that is not possible due to the nature of Wi-Fi, I've learned. The next approach is to add a DHCP server to P and let C lease an IP number.  It works fine; ip route on C gives: `10.254.239.0/27 dev eth0 src 10.254.239.13 default via 10.254.239.10 dev eth0 ` and ifconfig on P gives

C can ping P but not R, leaving me to believe that P has some routing error. How can I configure P to pass traffic between R and C? ip route on P gives:
default via 192.168.0.1 dev wlan0  metric 303 
10.254.239.0/27 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.254.239.10 
192.168.0.0/24 dev wlan0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.106  metric 303 
Also on P:
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
