You need to enable ip forwarding in your kernel, to check if it is
enabled try:

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 
1

or
$ sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
1

If the result is '0', you can enable it with

$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
or
$ sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 

To make this persistent over reboots, use /etc/sysctl.conf.
