When regular people say 'router', they assume this one box will be all three of these things:

- router

- NAT gateway

- DHCP server

In a typical scenario, turning IP forwarding on will do nothing unless:

- DHCP has given the devices on the 'inside' IP addresses and told them the gateway address, and

- the router is set up to do IP masquerading
