The firewall machine appears to be connnected. ppp0 is listed with the IP and such in the output of ifconfig. However I can't seem to get anything out from the firewall machine to the rest of the world. I can connect with all my machines internally on the LAN.
I ran the commands listed in the ipchains HOWTO # ipchains -P forward DENY # ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and was still not able to get things working. I wouldn't mind getting a look at your config file if something in there might be useful in debugging my outgoing IP problems.
