      Starting with the laptop...
      If you are doing routing that means that SRV-1 ping will reach Laptop-1 with a source IP of 192.168.2.240, this is outside of Laptop-1 subnet so it will send the responce to 192.168.1.1. So if the router 192.168.1.1 doesn't have a route for the 192.168.2.0 network it will send the reply ping out of the network onto the web.

      Assuming that the laptop firewall is off or allowing ICMP pings.

        In the section Diagnostics / Routes why I see link# ?

        That default route points to the interface rather than the upstream router, but that value doesn't tie in with the screen shot below it, thats weird.

          On RT-1, the config is :
          routes-sfr-rt-1.jpg

          RT-1 have a route for 192.168.2.0/24.

              I'd run a TCPdump on the WAN interface as you are pinging from SRV-1 to Laptop-1 and check the packets source and destination addresses. Also check for replies coming from the laptop.

                  are you checking 8.8.8.8 as the DNS?

                  Can you post a screen shot of: "System > General Setup" please

                      Also for gateways normally you would only have the WAN interface with an entry, i'd remove the LAN gateway, make sure on the LAN interface there is no gateway set
