You can reach a machine on the 192.168.1.0 network your saying?  Sounds
like the router is incorrectly configured, unless its done intentionally.
These addresses are never supposed to be routed.

Re-enable IP forwarding and use ipfwadm to restrict access.  Your
basically building a firewall at this point.  Do you simply want to
prevent telnet access to the network, or secure the 192.168. network and
the data behind it?

# Clear any old rules first
ipfwadm -I -f
ipfwadm -O -f
ipfwadm -F -f

# The next two commands help to prevent IP spoofing
# Deny all internal addresses from external interface
ipfwadm -I -a d -P all -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0/0 -W eth0 -o

# Deny all external addresses from internal interface
# /24 assumes Class C -- adjust for your 254.0 (I think /31)
ipfwadm -I -a d -P all -S xx.yy.zz.0/24 -D 0/0 -W eth1 -o

# Block telnet access to 192.168.1.0 network (eth0), from anywhere
ipfwadm -I -a d -P tcp -S 0/0 -D 192.168.1.0/24 21 -W eth0 -o
