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. You can see the firewall rules with the command "iptables -nL". You can delete all rules by running "iptables -F" (beware, your server will be unprotected if you do that). If you give more details about your network topology, it would be easier to help you. You may also look at the contents of /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/sysconfig/iptables on your old server, probably the routing, NAT and firewalling configuration of that server is there. HTH, Filipe
