any other posibilities that may cause the problem?

I see you are directly connecting the real host to the virtual host using
tuntap (eg, you don't use uml_switch).
I would like the most direct and easy way to access the network, seems the uml_switch needs just a lot more steps to set up the network... not sure though.
You probably need to enable forwarding (and possibly masquerading) on the
real box:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
The guide DOES mention this, in the section "using an existing network".
