I couldn't remember the exact attribute: it's something like net.ipv4.forwarding or if you are using redhat, you can just set the FORWARDING to TRUE or YES in /etc/sysconfig/networks or /etc/sysconfig/network. I don't have any linux right now. :) The former, you can set it via echo command but this will only become active after you execute it. You can insert it in a start-up script. The latter will keep the configuration even after your reboot it. And for this to take effect, you must reboot. The former, doesn't need a reboot. Hope this helps...
