IMHO, this isn't about (or related to NAT). This is simple IP routing between
two private networks.
The information above looks fine... There's something missing...
Do a "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" and see what it returns...
Do an "iptables --list" and see what it returns.
What Todd is describing above I've done bunches of times. There should be no
magic in doing this in FC2/3 (or any other Linux/RH version).
