Dialin PPP is isolated!

I have just recently set up a dial-in server to provide ppp access to our network here. Unfortunately, it is not working 100%. Dial-in connections and authentication seem to work flawlessly. However, the users are unable to access any machines beyond the dial-in server. Using ping and some jig
