router setup difficultly

[Nicolas Cherbuin]

Hello,

I had some problem connecting to transact and some of you suggested that I might have to change the default gateway and indeed it was the case. Thank you for your help

Unfortunately, the machine I am connecting with at the moment is my router/firewall, and I cannot browse the net from any other machine. As I am far from being a linux wizzard I need some SIMPLE (read dumb) advice/diagnostic tools.

What I can do:

-ping the router  from other machines (win 98)
-ping the win boxes from the router
-samba is working

What I can't do:

-ping any internet address
-ping the router with the local domain extension (firewall.nic) although the win98 machine has a hosts file with this information and so does the router

What I have tried:

-changed (briefly) iptables rules to -j ACCEPT to check that the firewall is not stopping some critical information --> no change
-checked network settings
-read all sorts of network how-tos 

route shows:

I hope that someone can help, also as I am presently undergoing some medical treatment I am considering paying somebody to fix this problem, who would want to do this?

Thanks for your help
