Yeah, I ran into this same problem while changing my gateway over from one machine to another. I had forgotten to take out the default route on the NEW masquerade system, so PPP didn't set the default route. But I was getting 'Permission denied' errors from my ISP's nameserver from the masquerade machine. Manually replacing the default route and restarting ipmasq did not solve anything. Rebooting the entire network fixed it. Also, interestingly enough, I upgraded the old gateway to kernel 2.2.4 to use the video framebuffer, did not compile in anything other than basic networking, and REMOVED the ipmasq and port forwarding packages. Turned out I had forgotten to update the default gateway on my single windows machine, so it was still sending to the old gateway. Well, it's STILL connecting to the external network quite fine. Why?
