    cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

If that says `0' then

    echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Might want to put that in a startup script somewhere. On Mandrake and many 
other RedHattish systems, edit /etc/sysconfig/network and set forwarding on 
in there.

If the workstation has a private IP, make sure server is masquerading.
