I'm going to have to agree with Marty here. Do "route -n" and make sure
your default gateway belongs to eth0 and not to eth0:1.

It really, really sounds like this is your problem.

If it isn't, then you need to begin the troubleshooting process. Make
sure you can ping the client machine. If not, traceroute the machine and
find out what's stopping you. It may be eth0:1 can also reach the
client, and your built-in firewall is not allowing packets through, do
"iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT" (syntax from memory) to let all packets
through.

Etc etc. I don't envy your situation. I've had it myself.
