As I mentioned, I don't seem to be able to remove the gateway entry from eth0.
At one time, I used to use firestarter which allowed me to explicitly assign the 'internet' port, and the port for 'local network' access. In system-config-firewall I don't seem to be able to do that; I had set 'masquerade' thinking that might cause the same effect, but obviously not.
I'm going to search the internet for how to do this at cli level - I will post back.
Following up, some useful advice here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-netwo...
and using the Network Administration Tool (system-config-network), I was able to redefine the eth0 configuration to avoid using a gateway entry. Incidentally, this tool did not list wlan0, which surprised me, but the network manager applet in XFCE lets me set wlan0 the way I need it, so I was ok.
I restarted the machine completely. Now I have:
$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use ~Iface
192.168.13.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.13.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0
And the netbook acts as both an internet gateway, and a proxy server.
