> Doublecheck "IP_FORWARD" in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl
this is in /etc/rc.config on a 7.3 box (or in a file in
/etc/rc.config.d/)

Masquerading should be activated on the linux box and I strongly
recommend setting up a DNS server on that machine (for caching DNS
requests). Then put the DNS server of your provider into the forwarders
{} section in /etc/named.conf
Check if the SuSEfirewall2 script is executed in /etc/ppp/ip-up (AFAIK
SuSEfirewall2 wasnt mentioned there, there was only a line about FW1)

you need to set up a default gateway (IP of your server) and a DNS
server (either your server if you run a nameserver or the nameserver of
your provider).

Testing should go the following way:
- Trigger a dialing
- look into /var/log/messages to see what happened (and find out which
DNS server your peer wants to assign you)
- look at ifconfig ppp0 (find out your IP etc)
- ping the IP of your peer from your linux box
- ping a name (www.yahoo.com) from your linux box
- ping you linux box from a windoze
- traceroute (tracert) an IP from your windoze
- nslookup a name from a windoze
- traceroute a name from a windoze

That should give you some hints on the problem
