I don't know what your ruleset is, but the fact that you mention the INPUT chain above in the same phrase as "can't connect to the Internet from my internal network" makes me worder whether you realise that INPUT is *only* for packets addressed *to* the firewall - FORWARD is for packets going from something on one side to somethin on the other side.....?
