You need ipmasqadm to forward to another machine. Yes, this was it. Problem solved. Thanks a million! My dummy defence is that I moved to 2.2 and switched to ipchains September 11th, and the 2.2 section on port forwarding in the howto didn't get in there until late October. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! =) Bottom line: When converting your ipfwadm/ipportfw rules to ipchains, even though the documentation suggests vaguely that ipchains does port forwarding, it only does it on the firewall box itself. To portforward across the masqueraded network, you must compile in the extra support in the kernel and use the ipmasqadm portfw program.
