I believe so.

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1
# iptables -L -n
...
blah blah
...
ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            192.168.219.0/24
REJECT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           reject-with
icmp-host-prohibited

To be sure that the firewall was not the source of trouble I temporarily
turned it off and observed no change in behaviour from that previously
reported.

Another correspondent pointed out that I may need to run routed to
propagate the routing information from the host to the network.

So, I will look into this.

Thanks for the help.
