The ip_forward value should be 1. You can use sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 to turn it on. To make the change come-up on reboot, add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf: # Enable packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 If you are running iptables or ipchains make sure they are setup correctly to allow ping packets and such. You can turn them off temporarily by running /etc/init.d/iptables stop or /etc/init.d/ipchains stop.
