Exactly my setup, other than I'm using a P120 machine.

Make sure you turned IP forwarding on! This can be a "gotcha". You need
to put FORWARD_IPV4=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network. Otherwise IP
forwarding is turned off.

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
255.255.255.255 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
24.3.239.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default cr2-hfc3.omhaw1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The 255.255.255.255 is there because I use DHCP to assign IP addresses to
the Windoze machines.
Hope this helps.
