I tried PLIP once. It is.... not fast.

That is a good test. Maybe it really is forwarded to the internet, but
since your IP address 192.168.*.* is unknown to the internet, it does
not know how to route back to you? That is why you need NAT.
Try adding a line such as
iptables -t nat -a POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.90.0/24 -j MASQ
That will cause NAT of traffic going to the internet from behind your
gateway.
This also requires ip-forwarding enabled:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
But I think iptables enables this for you, these days. I'm not sure.
By the way, if you leave your firewall rules so blatantly open, you will
get hacked before very long....
