Have you enabled Proxy ARP? It's often the answer to problems like this.
It associates your remote client's IP address with the LAN link-level
address for the gateway machine, so the LAN clients can figure out how
to route to the remote machine. For Proxy ARP to work without manual
intervention, the remote's local address (that is, the IP address for
the remote end of the connection) needs to be valid in the LAN's subnet.
