Are you translating private addresses with NAT in the wisp-dist box?

192.168.*.* are private addresses that you can use as you want in your 
LAN but routers in the Internet don't know about them (in fact we are 
millions using the same private addresses). So, your packets quit your 
LAN, get to the wdist box, continue to the next node, ... but when the 
outer node wants to answer he doesn't know where to locate 192.168.*.* 
so it simply drops the packets.

You need to use iptables or the shorewall wrapper in the wisp box.
