then restart your network and it should work.

hmm. u apply MASQUERADE rule with "-o eth0", but filter for "ppp0" interface. u should apply filter rules internet interface.

may i sugest u the iptables script generator at www.iptables-script.dk . u can generate iptables rules for your network configuration. it is simple, easy and secure enough.
btw, add
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
line at the end of that script. otherwise local connections will be blocked.

good luck.
