If you are using Masqerading, you need to set
some variables first. I use:

/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies

Read IP-Masquerade-HOWTO at:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html
for more info.
