One thing I didn't see was an iptables rule to forward packets eg,

iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -m state --state
NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Wouldn't you need to do something like that in addition to the sysctl
statement? I use an iptables rule like that, and it works like a charm. I
hope that helps.
