Oh, oops.  I bet you need IPNAT set up since your provider only maps one
ip address per modem.  I have that set up at home, I can zap you my
configuration files this evening (morning by your timezone since you're
in .au).

My configuration is fairly simple to use, it automagically configures
the NAT translation when the pppd establishes a connection, and cleans
it out when pppd hangs up.
