Can you ping to internet from other machines?

You should check firewall settings, and set iptables.

If you get to internet with server machine, write these in console (and remember to replace device names with you're own devices):
iptables --flush
iptables --table nat --flush
iptables --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

I like to use webmin for change my iptables settings since i don't like learning the syntax for everything.
