then from a remote computer:

ssh 192.168.0.1

I am then asked for a password, if I type the password and press return I will not be logged in. The console will just sit there and do nothing, no shell...

My apologies, I do actually get logged in but I have to wait around 30-40 seconds...

For anyone interested in this still, I would recommend shorewall.... it makes things a lot easier

You have a typo error here:

Code:

ath0

It should be:

Code:

eth0

Also to save having to save your rules you could use a script, rc.firewall script, there are plenty around that you could use.
