Okay, let's look at this methodically. Tell me what the following
give you (offlist if you are worried about security and publishing
your IP(s)):
$ uname -r
[ I'm curious which kernel you are running ]
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[ I've gone nuts trying to figure out just WTF was wrong with my
routing/masq setup before and forgotten to check that this has a "1"
and not a "0" ]
# /sbin/ifconfig -n
[ Let's list your interfaces. You may need to be root, depending on
your distro/security (hence the "#" prompt) ]
# /sbin/route -n
[ Now let's look at your routes and make sure they are working ]
# /sbin/ipchains -L -v
[ Now let's look at your IPChains (IP filtering code) rules in your
kernel. If you are running kernel 2.4, you may be using IPTables
instead. Long story. ]
We'll go from there.

I don't think you need to pay for this. It's usually just because
you missed one option or setting.
