What is your DNS setup? Which DNS server address is returned by your
DHCP server? Is this DHCP server reachable from your client? Can you
check on your client, which name server is configured?
The gateway gets two name servers from the network and I have added
three others to the gateway /etc/resolv.conf that I know work.
On the client /etc/resolv.conf shows the gateway: 192.168.1.1 and no
other name server.
I can ping all the name servers in the /etc/resolv.conf on the gateway
from both the gateway and the client.
I can reach the gateway on the client by ssh.
Thanks, Aric

Yes.

Thank you Ken for the suggestion. This has been on for some time
already. I also have inet6 forwarding on, just in case.
