Okay, maybe I needed sleep. But it really helped to hear stuff like: DNS will hang the route command without the -n switch and the reference to POSTROUTING/MASQ, this dummy had this in iptables: (em1 is the link/interface for the second machine) /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o em1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0/0 -j MASQUERADE instead of THIS (my wider network interface) /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o p37p1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0/0 -j MASQUERADE So all is working now. thanks much for hearing me out/help!
