I have everything working but the pass through to the internet. The
value in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward was 1 already.

On the windows machine I assigned the same DNS servers as I had in
/etc/resolv.conf. I also assigned 192.168.0.1 as the third DNS choice.
 The windows machine can contact the Apache server running on the
Linux machine but it cannot connect elsewhere.

I wnt to /etc/rc.d and rooted around until a found the statement
 /etc/rc.d/rc.ipv_forward start
I executed that statement. Still no help.

I note that I have a named process running. Could this be messing
something up?

Thanks for your help to date. I feel I am very close to final success.
