I no expert but don't you have to enable ip forwarding in the kernel first by executing the following:
# echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward I assume of course that you are trying to set up ip masquerading. There a good article on this in the linux journal issue 43, available on line at http://www2.linuxjournal.com go to the frame on the left click magazine ... Also take look through the debian mailing list archives. There seems to be lots on ip masquerading there.
