Make sure 

# sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward

prints 1.  If it doesn't, set it with

# sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

To have it set on every boot you need to tweak a config file depending
on the distro you're using.  E.g. for RedHat-based distros (RHEL,
Fedora, CentOS) this is /etc/sysctl.conf.

IIRC this is mentioned in the installation guide.
