       My local network is set up as shown in:

Figure 5: A typical SOHO Network Setup

Even the local IP numbers are the same. The desktop computer used as a 
router has a static IP for the public IP on the Internet.

IP forwarding is turned on yet I cannot reach the Internet from the 
laptop. I cannot ping the Internet gateway from the laptop. I can ping 
the router from the laptop (and connect via ssh).

There is a firewall.
