Is the WWW the only thing you're trying?  When you say it "doesn't
work", what exactly goes wrong?  Does it just sit there until you let it
time out, or does it give a connection failure message, or what?

Do you have your browser configured to use a proxy server?  You should
probably turn that off, because your machine should theoretically be
able to reach the net directly through Masq.

I guess that means you have some demand-dialing set up?  It does sound
like your forwarding ruleset might be denying the packets from reaching
the external interface, which would enable the demand-dial connection. 
Hard to know without more information.
