What is the network address you are using? Something like 192.168.x.x?
I see on the gateway 192.168.0.0/24 is defined in the rules and on the
laptop 192.168.122.0/24. In the rules on the gateway I see a rule:

DROP       all  -- !192.168.0.0/24       anywhere

Does this not mean that all packets from any network but 192.168.0.x
will be dropped?
