Good.
Try the "dig" tool to diagnose DNS problems on the
client (part of the bind-utils package):
$ dig @68.112.12.36 www.cnn.com
connection timed out; no servers could be reached
If this works on the machine connected to the cable modem then it suggests that your packet forwarding rules are broken. What's the output of:
# iptables -n -L
on the machine connected to the cable modem?
