i thought i needed the second gateway as a route to the other network 
(consisting of a single machine at 192.168.0.5) - but maybe not.

anyway i've deleted the second 'gateway', restarted the network and all 
seems fine so far so problem could be solved - time will tell.

many thanks for all the contributions.
