Sounds like a routing problem check your route
route -n
this will show you your default gateway, you need to set the gateway to the
IP of the machine on the internet (or the next hop out if this is the
machine on the internet)

For instance
10.0.0.202 10.0.0.7 194.126.82.5
194.126.82.1
 internal PC Firewall Box
Internet Gateway
    default GW Default GW
unknown GW
    10.0.0.7 194.126.82.1

as you can see the routing forwards the stream of outgoing packets to the
next machie in line, if you cannot get a route to host then your default
gateway is not set correctly
check using route and ifconfig.
