That looks much better.  The 192.168.1.0 entry is correct provided your
internal network has a netmask of 255.255.255.0.  It shouldn't have your
eth0 interface's IP.
Can your Linux box connect to Internet sites?  If so, you've got the
routing corrected on it.  If not forget about the firewall script for
now and concentrate on getting the Linux box connected to the Internet
properly first.  Without a functional connection, the script will just
be another unnecessary variable. 
     

The Linux box connects just fine to the internet. It is the windows 
machine that can't. I have no problem with connecting on the linux box.
   

If the Linux box is connecting properly and able to connect to Internet
sites, it looks like a configuration problem on the Windows system.
You've indicated that forwarding has been enabled on the Linux system,
correct?  I'm assuming that the firewall script starts without error,
correct?  You've also indicated that the two systems (Linux and Windows)
can communicate properly on your local LAN, correct?  If the above is
correct, check the following on the Windows system.
- "route print" at a command prompt should list your Linux box as your
 default gateway (Network Destination 0.0.0.0)
- "ipconfig /all" should list a DNS server for your local interface
If the above check out fine, test name resolution
- "ping yahoo.com" should return an IP address and attempt 4 pings
If name resolution fails, try pinging just an IP addres such as
64.58.79.230 (one of the IPs assigned to yahoo.com).
 

Just pinging an IP address gets timed out. The windows machine can only 
ping the linux machine. When I try to check to see if the firewall is 
loading by doing /etc/init.d/firewall as root I get the message that I 
don't have the permissions to do that so I don't know if the firewall is 
loading without errors. the route print and the ipconfig /all on the 
windows machine all
