Valeed - I haven't a clue where/how you got your firewall rules from and why they are logging to the screen.
This is what I would recommend - David Ranch's rulesets...

If this WIndows 2000 server is behind a firewall ... 192.9.200.x is a private LAN AND the computers on this LAN are trusted AND the Linux system is protected by a firewall, then you can probably just shut off iptables - service iptables stop - chkconfig levels 2345 iptables off
