I switched service providers from netcom/shell/slirp/cslip to a
dynamic ppp account from a local provider. I didn't have to switch
kernels or diald versions, everything worked ok.
The only problem is that now, the machine refuses to route packets from
the other machines on my net.
Is is possibly something to do with mtu or arp?

When you transition to ppp, you, and the rest of your net are directly
connected to the internet, and you need one of two things:
- one actual ip address assigned to each machine
or
- use IP Masquerading on your router machine to make your whole net
appear as one IP address to the rest of the world, a la slirp.
In the future, please post such drivel to comp.os.linux.imanidiot.
