DNS Help

Well, I seemlingly got my dns server running but nothing can communicate
with it. Of course if anyone can help me you may need to know how I have my
network set up:

Internet Via Cable modem goes directly to the WAN port on a Linksys
Wireless-B Router.
Router goes to a patch panel and to a switch which goes out to the
individual ports in the house
Server is hooked up directly to Router, and Laptop/Desktop using Wireless
connections.
The Linksys router has DHCP set up, with 192.168.1.1 being the router itself
The server is set to use 192.168.1.2
DHCP release is set to 192.168.1.100-150
DHCP is set to assign 192.168.1.2 as the default DNS
Router has built in Firewall, port 53 TCP/UDP is set to forward to the DNS
Server.

From the server I can do a dig and all my records return exactly correct,
and my reverse look-up works as well.

From my linux desktop dig doesn't even appear to try to contact my local dns
server first. It goes straight through the router.

From my laptop with nslookup I get:

Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.2: Timed Out
Default server: vip1bycymi.bycy.mi.charter.com
Address: 24.247.24.53

So my reverse lookup isn't working for one, as I can tell from the first
line. When I change the default server to "192.168.1.2" and type in
"bcthund.home" i get:

>bcthund.home
Server: [192.168.1.2]
Address: 192.168.1.2

DNS request times out.
     timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request times out.
     timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to [192.168.1.2] timed-out

I don't know if this is a DNS Server issue, or a firewall issue, or some
sort of propagation issue. I can't seem to pin it down and it's difficult to
find any relevant information online. Any suggestions I would greatly
appreciate.
