here's something wrong already.
a) eth0 should not have address 192.168.0.200 (for the purpose of easy
access to the fr, that is) and
b) specifically not, when everything is disconnected

eth0 retains the ip and usb0 does not get any.
in theory you need the two first commands i posted now (ifdown usb0 and
ifconfig), in praxi it wouldn't help much since it most likely clashes
with your existing network configuration.

hardly probable to work -- usb0 has no ip. you did not do ipdown/ifconfig.
there are some serious issues with your network configuration (from the
point of fr networking at least), which need to be solved first.
theoretically, you could circumvent them by using another mask and
iptables and stuff.
what's for the moment is mots important, is to figure out why eth0 uses
192.168.0.200 and why it does retain the ip even when disconnected (by
which i mean cable being unplugged).
most lilkly avahi is guilty ...
please, check the necessary tools for the configured network properties
(there should be some tools with graphic user interface available, if
everything fails, post the content of /etc/network/interfaces) and figure
out, what ip range your router uses.
furthermore, check if the software on your fr contains an text editor.
