Did you enable routing? The output of "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" must be 1, otherwise the server won't route packets between networks. In some cases (depending on your Internet modem/router) it's possible that you'll need to configure the server to do NAT as well.
I found in the end this wasn't the issue; shorewall sets /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1 by default; I only read it as 0 because I had stopped shorewall.
My error was that I had not added my LAN to /etc/shorewall/masq . Just a silly oversight.
