Sorry for comming late to this thread, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents. Barry,
from your earlier description of your setup, I have a question and a possibly suggestion. The Netgear device, I assume has atleast the one uplink port, which is what's tied into the LEAF box, from there, the Netgear hands out IP addresses to its wireless clients, sounds good enough there. If this is true, then the Netgear is acting as a 2nd firewall (think DMZ situation), and you have a couple of options. Not being inheritly familiar with the Netgear product, I think that you should be able to turn off the firewall function, and use it as a wired/wireless bridge device. Additionally, I assume that eth1 is plugged into a wired switch, which is where your PC is plugged into also, and are able to get an IP from. This being the case, you 'could' turn your LEAF box into a network switch as well, by using the bridging module and tools. This effectively puts the all of your wireless and wired clients on the same network (assuming that this is OK). From there, you would simply place a DNAT config under Shorewall, pointing to the 192.168.1.x of the game server. Pehaps I missed a step or two, but what you are doing isn't that dissimilar to what I am doing, except I don't have a wireless access point. Let me know if you have any questions.
