What error message do you get when you try to connect?
Are both hosts listed in each other's /etc/hosts file?
What ipchains commands are you using to setup masquerading?
What do the routing tables of both hosts look like?

pppd supports ip-up.local and ip-down.local scripts which, if located
in /etc/ppp and made executable, will be run when the IP link is
brought up and down. From those you can try and massage the routing
table.
