Two points are typical pitfalls for beginners: the Linux host must forward traffic between his 2 devices. This is calle ip_forward and is to be set on (1) in /etc/sysctl.conf. The other point is that the client(s) behind the gateway host must be able to resolve hostnames. So they either have to have in their network setup knowledge about the ISP's DNS addresses or if the gateway acts as a local caching nameserver, they have to use his IP as DNS address.
