sharing conection (iptables) problem

Hello

I have one new problem about iptables, and making router.

I use Slackware 10.0 with 2.6.10 kernel.
And i make a script, with iptables info and that stuff.

I have modem pluged in eth0, and eth1 is connected with secound box with windows XP

And when i use this command:

iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

IPTABLES --APPEND foward --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT

computer say this:

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

Why? i have installed slackware full, extcepts X server, because this computer is used for server. I have used 2.4.26 kernel, and i think the problem is kernel, but then i was compiled 2.6.10 and the problem is still there...

for this:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_foward - it bring up the error, like file is missing, but this file is there..

What the hell is wrong? Thanks for answers, and sorry for my bad english

I can't tell if this is just a typo or you actually misspelled while entering the command but forward needs to be capitalized:
The same rule shortened:
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT

Same goes for the following, misspelled forward.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
