I don't have 6.2 yet, but here's some things that *might* help:
Try deleting/flushing all the chains first - '/sbin/ipchains -X' and
'/sbin/ipchains -F'.
I'm also wondering if you need to specify a destination address or if
ipchains assumes anywhere if you don't. Try '/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s
192.168.0.0/16 -d 0/0 -j MASQ'
Have a look at the rules and see if they look like you expect them to as
well: '/sbin/ipchains -L' or '/sbin/ipchains -nL' to see them without DNS
resolution.
