I'm running Gutsy, and have the very same problem. What is misleading is
the comment in /etc/sysctl.conf:

   # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
   net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding = 1

Uncomment it as I may, packet forwarding bloody well isn't enabled after
reboot. Has it got something to do with the way may network interfaces
are configured? Even so, I consider that the comments in
/etc/sysctl.conf should be more helpful for non-sysadmins. A link to a
somewhat helpful manpage would have done. What's the difference between
net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding and net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding
anyway?

"net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1" doesn't work
