I'm fairly certain that you don't need the GATEWAY=YES option in 
sysconfig. You _do_ need a kernel compiled with the "options GATEWAY", 
which is probably already there if dial-in users can reach other hosts on 
the LAN.

Can the PPP server machine ping outside the network? It sounds like the
default route on the PPP server machine has been munged. Pppd has an
option to set up the peer as the default route, which is useful for PPP
clients, but it would screw up routing on a PPP server. 

Do a 'netstat -rn' and make sure the default route points to your 
internet router.
