No, the problem is that your local network doesn't know how to route
to the dialin - they're going to their default router instead.
You should allocate a local IP number to the ppp peer (something
within the LAN netmask) and use ``enable proxy'' in your
configuration. That way ppp will pretend that the dialer is local
and the rest of your LAN will believe it.
The alternative is to tell all machines on your lan how to route to
the ppp network and get ppp to dish out IPs for the ppp network only.
