Maybe you are.. what DID you run ?
Another thought, stop iptables first. That is
run service iptables stop
Then run the 2 commands again, if eth0 is to the internet, it should be
exactly:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

The iptables-save suggestion in a prior mail will ONLY save the iptables
command not the echo command that turns on routing. To save that,
put net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf

And what ip address does your eth1 have, and what does the other box
have ? And tracert ?
