ESXi use physical ethernet ports of Client using a WAP?

vmware.PNG

My setup is displayed in the picture: I'm connected to the ESXi server through a WAP. The VM (with the use of vSphere Client) is configured to be connected to a standard vSwitch with the adapter pointing to the WAP. Lets say that the server and WAP are in the 192.168.1.x range and the IP Equipment should be in the 192.168.0.x range. Now, the problem is that I want to reach the IP Equipment network through my physical ethernet port on the Client laptop, as the Client laptop is connected to the ESXi server with the use of its wireless adapter.

I just can't figure out a way how the packets should travel: from the Client laptop to the Server -> find it's way back to the Client -> route the packet -> send out to 0.x range over physical Ethernet port. Is this even possible?
