Thank you, Steven, for your profound and very understandable
explanations.

I think I have understood the difference between gateway and default
gateway. My practical question only is how I can load a webpage
into the browser on the client machine. It possibly will not be
necessary that the router at the 4th floor has a gateway to every
machine in my local network?

But on the other hand: Is the flag in /proc/sys/net/ip4v/ip_forward
the only thing that is necessary in order to enable the gateway
machine to send all the traffic to the correct machine that was
requesting for it?
