Hello Jose,
from the picture you provided the situation looks pretty simple.
- you have enabled IP forwarding on router, I recommend you to put it into /etc/sysctl.conf for persistence.
- you have configured firewall rules on router to allow forwarding traffic from left to right subnet. You can also try to set up ACCEPT policy just for testing.
- the default gateway for left subnet is 192.168.1.1 (you mentioned router for Internet access). Correct me if I'm wrong.
- the default gateway for right subnet I assume is 192.168.236.74. You don't have to do anything with routing here. Every host in right subnet knows where to send replies.
- the problem seems to be missing routing information in left subnet. Hosts don't know anything about the right subnet and thus send requests to the default gateway 192.168.1.1.
- modifying routing table on every host in left subnet can be solution in case, if there is only a few hosts which need to access right subnet
- if you need to have fully accessible subnets, put the static route to default gateway 192.168.1.1 to redirect requests to proper gateway. If it is Linux gateway, try something like this
[root@default-gw]# ip route add 192.168.236.0/24 via 192.168.236.74

Andrej
