Why have 500M of swap? As your machine only has 32M of RAM it will be almost
unusable if it ever uses more than 64M of swap.

Firstly you need the modules loaded. As you didn't bother telling us the
type of network card that can't be answered.
The generic answer is to put something in /etc/modules, then add appropriate
"ifconfig" lines to /etc/init.d/network .
Then add "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to /etc/init.d/network .
Debian-isp is not the group for this so I removed it from the CC.
