I'd recommend checking out this previous post in our Community to see if anything there helps:
Since that was posted, we also introduced VPCs which don't work with IP sharing. If you're using a VPC, you'd have to choose between the two features. If you'd like to remove a VPC from a server, you can do so by updating the configuration profiles.
To do that, fully power down the Linodes. Once they are off, you can then go to the configurations tab for each in Cloud Manager, click edit, and then change the eth0 interface from VPC to Public Internet. When that's done, hit save changes at the bottom and then boot from the profiles.
There may be other products that don't work with VPC. Feel free to open a Support Ticket if you have any specific questions about how your specific set up may or may not work with IP sharing.
