What is the exact error message you get when you telnet to your linux system 
and google on port 80 from the windows system? Also what are the messages you 
get in different browsers?

iptables logs via the kernel log, it can be read with dmesg or syslogd 
(/var/log/messages).
Your iptables is accepting all connections to everywhere, so firewall 
shouldn't be the problem.
