On the gateway have gateway=ON set in /etc/sysconfig If you ISP doesn't know about your "internal" network, and hence isn't routing that network for you then not much on the inside is going to work. You'll need to setup proxy services on your gateway to make this work if you infact aren't getting a subnet routed from your ISP and you want your internal hosts to "use" the internet.
