Sorry,  I was gone all day...

root at Aether:/etc/init.d # iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination


And the other computers cannot connect to the Internet..

Thanks
