What are your actual IP addresses?

You'll need something like "iptables -A FORWARD -o eth3 -j ACCEPT",
assuming that your default policy is DROP. Plus the associated inbound
connection ("iptables -A FORWARD -i eth3 -j ACCEPT"). Of course, you
should tighten these up, but I'd get it working first.

I suggest you get it working with the public IP address first, as it's
less things to configure.
