I forget what your original installation was - but
a) somewhere in startup you need to be doing this.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
On debian this is controlled by setting "ip_forward=yes" in
/etc/network/options
b) yes - you will need to masquerade outgoing connections (my stuff is all
home grown firewall stuff based on iptables so I can't be definitive on what
you should do)
