As expected the response never gets sent back because it goes to the non-existent 192.168.0.5 host instead of the router at 10.72.16.140 (and then to the internal 192.168.0/8.5 address).

Linux NAT is using the internal IP address for remote traffic

For some reason my NAT is only allowing connections on the local network. When I ping the local network, the packets come out with the NAT gateway as the source. When I ping the remote network (Internet host etc.), the packet source is the internal IP address for the device and the responses do not get sent back properly. Any ideas about what could be configured incorrectly?

router ~ # iptables -S
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i eth2 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
router ~ # iptables -S -t nat
-P PREROUTING ACCEPT
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-P POSTROUTING ACCEPT
-A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

The internal network is 192.168.0.0/16 and the external (NAT local) is 10.0.0.0/8.
