I take it this means that the E-Smith Server is acting as a router, with
192.168.1/24 on the external interface and 192.168.0/24 on the internal
interface.

Adding a route to 192.168.1/24 from a host on the 192.168.0/24 network is
not enough.  In order to have bidirectional communication, hosts on the
192.168.1/24 network must also have a route back to the 192.168.0/24
network, otherwise their responses will be lost.
