Hi Pierre

The rule above won't work! you must set the -o flag before you set the -j <TARGET>
i. e. iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT

Otherwise the rule won't be accepted by iptables and you have no rule that
accepts  forwarded traffic when the default policy for the FORWARD chain is set
to DROP.
