Not wanting to sound too picky, but setting a default gateway is, in effect, setting a (default) route.
Fair enough, but reading the post, I was thinking of users "adding routes," which is a different (and potentially more complex) action. Of course, for some situations, you want that complexity. But it's not needed for what most people do with internet connection sharing.
man route
I was thinking more of setting up the networks using ifconfig and route for testing. I am not sure how you would go about assigning an IP address of 192.168.2.0 on a network defined as 192.156.2.0/24 using an ifcfg-eth? file or the configuration GUIs. (That is how the OP said he configured things.) But I could be wrong - they may not do any error checking...
