connect to internet problem

[John O'Loughlin]

Have you made sure that you have ip forwarding enabled on the machine your 
hosts are forwarding through?

Check /etc/sysctl.conf for net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1, if its set to 0 set to 
1 and then sysctl -p

Another thing to think about is nat, are you using nat? If not is it a 
routing issue?

Regards
John
