Does it just sit there until you let it time out, or does it give a connection failure message, or what? Do you have your browser configured to use a proxy server? You should probably turn that off, because your machine should theoretically be able to reach the net directly through Masq. > Another observation I made is, if I ping from a LAN client the Linux > box establishes an ISDN connection, if I try accessing a URL in IE > (again on a LAN client) it doesn't. I guess that means you have some demand-dialing set up? It does sound like your forwarding ruleset might be denying the packets from reaching the external interface, which would enable the demand-dial connection.
