IP Tables doesn't route; it firewalls, mangles packets, etc. Your
gateway could forward packets between its interfaces even if iptables
was not compiled into its kernel.

So this means (assuming I understand what you mean): when the
workstation boots, it can ping the gateway but not the jetstart router;
when you ifup/ifdown eth0 on the workstation, it can ping the gateway
*and* the jetstart router.
Is the workstation set up to pick up an IP address via DHCP, or is it
statically assigned?
