Bill very kindly sent me another message under the list, with more explanation and a very nice diagram -- hypothetical, he said, but dead right in all essentials -- and that led me to the solution. Trying to be very careful to get a reply exactly right made me discover the real problem: plain dumb operator error. First, "/sbin/services iptables stop" did work perfectly well this morning -- musta thunk I was root and not been, or something equally stupid. Second and even worse, I was on the wrong line of the router's dhcp client table. x.y.x.103 was really my XP machine (which was shut down, as usual; it runs only stuff I can't yet under linux, like NASA's Worlwind program). Once I did ssh x.y.z.104, everything worked. My face is red -- redder than usual -- but I'm a happy camper.
