Have you actually configured this machine as a router ? It will not 
magically act as one without further configuration.

You will need to tell it :
a) to forward packets (ie do routing)
b) do NAT (a.k.a. Masq) between the public IP and the internal 
non-routable addresses.
You can do this with a few lines on the command line, but I would 
suggest using a package to deal with the low level complexity and 
requirement to learn the syntax for iptables. I use Shorewall on 
almost every machine I set up for this.

Just a thought, does Centos install a firewall by default ? Many 
default configs these days filter pings, don't know why as it offers 
very very little security and causes far more headaches for net 
admins trying to diagnose faults.
