Iptables don't block traffic

Hi all, this is my first message to the list, so excuse me if it is too
trivial...

   I have a Red Hat box running as a firewall in my network. It's
working fine, but now I'm doing tests in order to block certain Internet
traffic. I've added the following rules which should drop packets from
my PC to a known public IP (a web server):

iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.138.35.110 -d 193.110.128.200 -j DROP

   But the packets are not droped because I still can connect to the
web server.

   The default rule for FORWARD chain is DROP

  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Oscar
