Have you done this?
7.13 When my Internet connection first comes up, nothing works. If I try
again, everything then works fine. Why is this? The reason is because you
have a dynamic IP address and when your Internet connection first comes up,
IP Masquerade doesn't know its IP address. There is a solution to this. In
your /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ruleset, add the following:
# Dynamic IP users:
#
# If you get your IP address dynamically from SLIP, PPP, or DHCP, enable
this following
# option. This enables dynamic-ip address hacking in IP MASQ, making
the life
# with Diald and similar programs much easier.
#
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
