Set the WAN IP of the netgear to 192.168.1.100. Set the LAN IP of the
netgeare to 192.168.2.1. Disable NAT.
Set the Netgear to the 192.168.2.x/24 range. Add a route in the Netcomm
to 192.168.2.x via 192.168.1.100

This *should* work, but it depends on whether the netgear can function
as just a router rather than a NAT + WAN connecter.
