You can - you can have 2 or more interfaces that have the same IP
address using bridging.

No matter what you do to the Linux box, other machines on the
192.168.1.0/24 network are not going to know that the Linux box is
the gateway to the 192.168.2.0/24 network unless you tell them. So
when you try to ping 192.168.2.5, the packet is sent to the D-link
router, because that is the default route, and the machines only
know the route for the 192.168.1.0/24 network, and the default
route. As I posted in another message, you may be able to add a
route to the D-link router so it know to use the Linux box as the
route to the 192.168.2.0/24 network. If not, then you have to add
the route to the other machines on the 192.168.1.0/24 network.
