Try:

iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.2 -j DROP

(w/o the -d 0.0.0.0/0)

Or, for an even better setup, just change the default policy on the FORWARD chain itself:

iptables -P FORWARD DROP

(you'll need to explicitly set up all your allowed connections first)
I tried doing the rule without the destination and traffic is still flowing. Also, the default policy for the FORWARD chain is already DROP. That is how OpenWRT does its default routing. It also does a lot of other things that I don't quite understand. I'll try to dig in a little more into that. But further suggestions are welcomed.

As for the suggestion to reinstall the OS, I'm not entirely sure how to go about that. The machine is a Linksys NSLU2 that I hacked and loaded Debian on. Things were touchy getting it installed so I'd rather try other solutions first. Thanks though.

Mike
