just a small suggestion (even it doesn't settle well with your description
of packet sniffing): set the masquerading machine (the 'gateway') to
always defrag IP packets (echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag).
i think i saw this as a required setting for masquerading linux gateways.
note that masquerading normally works in a manner transparent to remote
gateways (e.g. the ADSL modem and anything beyond it towards your
provider) so a different between the behaviour of the masquerading gateway
and the masqueraded client(s) is probably a misconfiguration on the local
LAN.
