Well, it depends on your firewall...
If you are using ipchains, try
ipchains -L
in a console or an xterm or even as part of an initscript
also, test the file
/proc/net/sys/ipv4/ip_forward which should contain a "1"
unless you are using an interface-specific activation file instead, then
test that one.
If you were really ambitious, you might even write a short Perl or Python
or tcl script to do that for you and call it from an initscript.
