I believe somebody already answered that earlier in this thread:

        sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Another way to do the same thing (in a root shell):

    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwarding

To do this when not in a root shell:

    echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwarding
