Hi,
Have you checked that ip forwarding is enabled? This can be checked by running the following command:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
If the result is 0 then you need to run:
echo 1 >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
You'll also need to check that ip masquerading is enabled via your ipchains/iptables firewall.
The following is a basic rule to enable ip masq, where 192.168.1.0/24 is the range of ip addresses on your lan.
ipchains -A forward -i eth1 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
You might find the following tutorials useful for configuring the rest of you firewall rules:

Hope this helps
