The Linux server needs to be configured to forward packets between eth1 and eth0. The workstation appears to have a statically configured IP, so you should be able to enter the default gateway (192.168.1.122) where-ever you entered the IP (192.168.1.22). May I ask why you are using this set up? If you aren't running a firewall on the Linux machine, and the Internet router does NAT, I can't see any need to sit the Linux server between the Internet router and the workstation or client client. Your network topology could be simplied if the Linux server, workstation, and thin client were all connected to the Internet router. That said, I would personally reccomend you keep your existing setup, but move the firewall and NAT back to the Linux server - Linux will generally be more configurable (and powerful) and a consumer-level router.
