Ping IP outside of my local network

I am in the army deployed to Iraq and need help with our system (Windows or Solaris expert).
I have 2 systems using ip addresses: 192.45.12.200 and 192.45.12.201

One is a Solaris 10 system the other is a Windows XP Pro

I can ping any system in the local IP addresses of 192.45.12.x but I have a system with a IP of 192.9.200.60. When I ping this system on Windows XP is says: Destination Host Unreachable and when I try to ping from Solaris it says "Not Found"

Now if I change the IP on the windows computer to something like 192.9.200.101 I can ping anything at 192.9.200.x but not 192.45.12.x

I think its a gateway problem (or maybe I don't have one set up) but I don't know much about gateways or anything like that just basic networking. Can Anyone help me solve this on Solaris or Windows XP or both?

btw...I think all our systems are connected using a switch...so if this is a gateway problem I don't know what IP I would use in the TCIP box in Windows XP...and not sure how to add a gateway in solaris.

As an aside, a basic switch is only layer 2 so would not be able to perform the layer 3 action (routing) between the two different networks. Lets get the right ip first of the routing device then we can get to the commands to add the gateway or route statements in.
