This is working from gateway. I'm trying it from LAN behind the
gateway/firewall, from desktop machine.

tcpdump now shows traffic, when I ping www.google.com from desktop
machine.

I run on gateway command:
sudo tcpdump -pni eth2 port 53 or host 62.108.117.6

listening on eth2, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

www.google.com. (32)

4 packets captured
4 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

but I get error message on the command line on desktop (LAN):
$ ping www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com

tcpdump now shows traffic, when I 'ping 62.108.117.6' from desktop
machine. 

I run the command on gateway:
sudo tcpdump -pni eth2

but at the command line on desktop machine I get nothing:

$ ping 62.108.117.6
PING 62.108.117.6 (62.108.117.6) 56(84) bytes of data.

Then I cancel it with Ctrl-C:

--- 62.108.117.6 ping statistics ---
13 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 12008ms 

Well, I think that that something is wrong in my network setup, but
what?
