did you issue a command that looked something like this:

/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D0/0

? the m turns on masquerading for all packets coming from the source (-S) 
to the destination (-D 0/0 means any destination). also you might want
to make sure that the file:

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

contains a 1 only.  if it doesn't try:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.

hope that helps some.
