[Nelug] Mandrake 9.0 - Internet connection sharing - Shorewall firewall

[Andy]

Those are  PRIVATE addresses, can you ping a PUBLIC address such as
64.58.76.228 (www.yahoo.com)
This will prove you have a live connection to the internet from that box,
and you then know you need to look inside for the problem.  You need to
establish a point of reference, a working internet connection s the obvious
choice in this case.
