no connection

[William Perry <wlperry@williamperry.com>]

I am using the following iptables script:
# eth0 is the Local network
# eth1 is the External network
 
*filter
:INPUT   DROP [0:0]
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT  DROP [0:0]
 
#allow traffic from the firewall to go out

I was expecting the firewall (external ip 71.133.232.116) to send the 
packets to the web server (123.123.123.2), but it appears that the 
packets are not going anywhere.

Test:
use a machine whose gateway is not 71.133.232.116 and execute:
wget http://71.133.232.116/

1. On the log file of the firewall, I see a log record indicating that 
the "[FWD-]" log was hit.
2. On the web server, I see no record in the access log file.
3. No response is received to the wget command.

Isn't the prerouting command enough to get the packets to go? What do I 
need to do to get iptables to actually send the packet?
