When you say 'set up ip forwarding,' do you mean on the gateway/host or the linux client?
I've followed the mini howto very closely, and feel quit close. My machines ping each other no problem. But my linux client will not reach the outside world. I'm running 2.2.2 on both machines. I think I need to add a route on my linux client that says my gateway is 192.168.1.1, but "route add" doesn't work, but the howto is RH specific and I don't have the file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
