Looks ok.  Check the output of 'ipchains -L' but you have to run it as su,
and you may not want to post it for security reasons (your choice).

Check your ipchains documentation on each rule it shows to ensure each is
doing the right thing.

I've actuallt lost the train of thought as to what the current problem is ?
What's not working at the moment?
