If this box is going to be used as a gateway only box then you are going
to have to change the 'INPUT' to 'FORWARD' The last line isn't forwarding
anything thus you are not getting past the first interface that you are
connected to.
If this box is also going to be used then you will need to add 'FORWARD'
statements as needed to get out to the services you want to get to.
