Try this:

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
If that is 0 then...
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

If that helps, you'll need to add it to a script that runs at boot. It
basically tells the box that it's okay to take packets from one
interface and send them along through another.

line of
