Thanks Warren. Tried both ltspbr0 and eth0 (eth0 is external interface)

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

fixed the problem. This can also be set through system-config-firewall

Okay next problem.
flash-plugin.i386 was not available through yum in the chroot (but it
is outside the chroot) so I installed flash by
 cp  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
and then I installed
libflashsupport.i386
in the chroot with yum (which worked)

flash is working on the locally running firefox BUT all youtube videos
stop playing after about 2 seconds AND there is *no* sound. But flash
adverts without sound seem to be working fine.
