Try:
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding
or
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
depending upon the name of it on your system. I believe in 2.0.x it was,
'ip_forward', then in the middle of 2.1.x went to 'ip_forwarding' then
recently has gone back to 'ip_forward'.
A diff for RedHat 5 users maybe useful upon this matter:
