apparently everything is working, but I cannot get
into internet from Windows 98 SE machine using dhcp to
access it.
Should I change the subnetmask?
No.
Should I rename domain-name-servers or just omit that
line?
domain-name-servers should be IP addresses. Which to use I can't judge,
but maybe the 2 of your ISP may be best choice.

Make sure you have forwarding set on on the gateway host:
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
must print out "1" (without quotes). If it does not, then activate it in
/etc/sysctl.conf and run "sysctl -p". Make too sure the gateway does NAT
by an iptables rule like:
iptables -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[eth0 should be in your case the outgoing device]
