Please don't change the reply address like you did. It is very
uncomfortable to always have to check that a reply will go to the list!

Right, the error is abvious.

You have a wrong command line (line 13) in the filter section. Remove
line 13. Add to top of the iptables file following:

*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
COMMIT

Run "service iptables restart" and all is fine.
