It's being sent by the server, it's received on the external interface of the the gateway, but it never makes it to the internal network. The client machine keeps trying to setup a TCP connection, but never receives the ACK.

Here are my iptable rules: gw2:~# iptables -L -t nat Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination MASQUERADE all -- anywhere anywhere SNAT all -- anywhere anywhere to:<Static IP> Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination gw2:~# iptables -L -t mangle Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination MARK tcp -- 192.168.108.0/24 anywhere tcp \ dpt:ssh MARK set 0x4 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 Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination IP rule list: gw2:~# ip rule list 0: from all lookup local 32765: from all fwmark 4 lookup 4 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default Routing tables: gw2:/home/mpathix# ip route show table main <PPPoE peer> dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 69.158.104.154 63.250.109.128/29 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src <Static IP> 192.168.108.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src <GW's Internal IP> default via <PPPoE peer> dev ppp0 gw2:/home/mpathix# ip route show table 4 <PPPoE peer> dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 69.158.104.154 63.250.109.128/29 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src <Static IP> 192.168.108.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src <Static IP> default via <Static's GW> dev eth1 So basically packets are getting out, but they're not getting back in.
