Yes, I thought the same but my confusion is that I don't see any rules of PREROUTING and POSTROUTING in the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file.

But when I check the command iptables -L -t nat I can see the NAT rules
[root@VS01]# iptables -L -t nat Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination

am I missing something?
Maybe .. do you have IPv4 forwarding enabled? What is the output of "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" ?? If it is 0, then edit /etc/sysctl.conf .. find net.ipv4.ip_forward .. set it to 1 and then run (as root) sysctl -p
In the Host machine the ip_forward is 1
