Noob Q: how to include the physical computer under the Vmware net for routing and firewall

Hi I have a windows machine that is running some home automation software.

i want to add a new NIC, and setup VMware with ipsnse/ipfire(Router distro)

and route my entire house with this VM

the way I see it, anything not connected to the VMware will not be included in the router

so the physical will not be included rightSmiley Sad?

is there any solution? i really need that machine to stay winows, also ruining widows as a VM seems like not a good idea 

i want to this achieved

ISP Router > windows physical with Vmware and Home bla bla> rest of the house with routers and switches
