The problem you have is not related to netfilter.  Whatever
distrubtion you are using should have information to help you setup
your intranet.

Read the following HOWTO's:
NET-3-HOWTO, NET3-4-HOWTO.  They might be on your system already.  If
not use www.google.com to locate them.

If you can't ping your local network, netfilter won't help fix that.
