Redirect Traffic

I need to redirect all traffic intended for a specific network (for example 10.4.160.0) to go to a specific machine on my network (example 192.168.2.17).
I've tried "route add 10.4.160.0 192.168.2.17", adding "192.168.2.17 10.4.160.0" to my hosts file and even tried setting up a route setting on my router/gateway device... all with no success.

what kind of router do you have? also, the hosts file does dns like resolution, not routing. also, a route statement should look something like sourceipaddress sourcesubnetmask destination 10.4.160 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.17

Your router should have the ability to set one of your computers in what is called the DMZ. But, that computer will now be fully exposed to the internet so be sure to have a good software firewall installed.

but, will putting it in the dmz route traffic to it? or can you only forward specific ports to the dmz?
