Sounds like the gateway just isn't forwarding packets. What you probably want
to do is check
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
It's probably set to zero, so all you need to do is:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
On redhat 5.2 you can add the line
FORWARD_IPV4="yes"
to the file:
/etc/sysconfig/network
Hope that helps.
