Do you have a residential gateway of some sort on your network at 192.168.0.1?
Or is your Windows host directly connected to another non-192.168.0.x
network?

By workstation, I assume you mean your coLinux image. That appears to be
configured correctly if the above assumption is correct.

If your Windows host is supposed to be 192.168.0.1, you probably need to turn
off bridging and turn on Internet Connection Sharing as well as
set a valid DNS server (unless you plan on running a recursive DNS
server on your Windows host itself).

We really need more information to deduce what your problem might be.

We might want to write up an FAQ on this soon. It appears this will be a
common question.
