The default Shorewall configuration is setup for an ethernet card
(eth0). It blocks access to everything on ppp0 (the dial up connection).
This link provides a proper configuration:

Hopefully future Mandrake releases will configure Shorewall during
install. Wouldn't want dial-up users to give up on Mandrake when there's
no Internet connection.
