See if I've understood your problem :-

- host -> UML works
- UML -> host works
- UML -> rest of net doesn't work

Basically you need a way of masquerading packets from your UML to look
like they come from the host, for example using iptables, OR make the
UML to be a real part of your network if possible.

Check out

http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html

for more info on different ways of connecting a UML to a host.
