Thanks for your reply Ray, isn't it always the case that stating a
problem can sometimes suggest the answer? ;-)

To answer some of your questions - I had found and disabled the firewall
blocking of the relevant private IP range - sorry not to have mentioned it.

Also, as you point out, I left the details of the cosmos box very
sketchy - turns out that his is exactly where the problem was!

When I had removed our firewalling script from the cosmos box, I had
failed to notice that it handled the NAT configuration for us ....

The simple solution was to do the following on the cosmos box (Linux 2.2.x)

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i ppp0 -s 192.1.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth0 -s 192.1.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0

Now everything is working fine :)
