I don't really understand your setup.
Is this a laptop connecting to a desktop which connects to the internet?
If so, I can't believe that you need ip masquerade to connect via ethernet.
I'm sure the problem is much simpler.

Maybe it's a dhcp problem?
Or maybe you are running a firewall on the desktop
that does not allow access from your first LAN (192.168.1.*)?
