Make sure you have IP forwarding turned of in the kernel:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

should return 0. Otherwise, do:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

To set host netmask on your inner interface you should do something like 
this:

ifconfig eth1 netmask 255.255.255.255

If these measures do not help, please, let me see the output of:

ifconfig -a
netstat -rn

commands and your sweetspot.conf configuration file.
