Thanks very much.
I see that this is set to 0 at present:
-------------------------------------------------
[tim@helen ~]$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
0
-------------------------------------------------
I'll try setting it to 1, and re-connecting the server.

I was actually using shorewall (from the epel repository, I think),
and hoped/assumed it would take care of any settings like this.
I ran "service shorewall clear" and looked at "iptables -L"
which seemed to allow everything:
-------------------------------------------------
[tim@helen ~]$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
-------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your offer.
If your earlier suggestion does not work, I'll take it up.
I more or less copied everything from the other server,
but could easily have missed something.
Thanks again.
