So do your masq/snat rules look like ?

Should be something like :
(echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward)
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -s <local_net> \
    -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s <local_net> \
    -j SNAT --to-source <inet_ip>     ** OR **
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s <local_net> \
    -j MASQUERADE
(echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward)
