The desktop computer (192.168.1.1 on eth1) has a public IP address on 
eth0. I can access the Internet from the desktop computer. IP forwarding 
was (is) enabled:

# Enables packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
# Enables source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
# Disables automatic defragmentation (needed for masquerading, LVS)
net.ipv4.ip_always_defrag = 0
# Disables the magic-sysrq key
kernel.sysrq = 0

But I get an error message:

[root rab chippy]# sysctl -p
bash: sysctl: command not found
[root rab chippy]# /sbin/sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
error: 'net.ipv4.ip_always_defrag' is an unknown key
kernel.sysrq = 0
