I'm not sure if switching would have helped, but I figured out a resolution for my laptop. It was indeed related to having a NAT'ed firewall already. The default behavior for these tools is to assume that 192.168.0.0/16 is reserved for local use only. Makes sense but since I'm firewalling between my laptop and the local network (192.168.0.0/16), I want to allow those local ips out. I can comment out in gShield's configuration file: reserved_addresses the entry 192.168.0.0/16 and this will allow my requests through... Don't know if this is the best way, but it works...
