Make sure that your other machines have your internal machine set as their
gateway. If your other machines are Win95, use the network control panel
to set the gateway. If they're Linux, check /etc/sysconfig/network to make
sure a GATEWAYDEV and GATEWAY are set.

The next thing to check is whether you have IP Forwarding turned on. Make
sure that in /etc/sysconfig/network it says "FORWARD_IPV4=yes". (Note that
this is with RH 5.0 and up, I don't recall if RH 4.2 did this). Without IP
forwarding the packets will never get forwarded to the SLIP port that
activates diald.
