your problem might be that you did not specify the 'proxy arp' option when
starting the ppp daemon on the linux server.

'proxy arp' means that the linux machine will answer ARP requests looking
for the IP address given to the dialing machine (i.e. the linux machine
pretends that this IP address actually belongs to its ethernet interface,
and thus when other hosts send data to this address, the linux machine
responds with 'this is my IP', and eventually forwards the packets to the
proper interface..)

the exact name of the option is 'proxyarp'. read the man page of 'pppd'
for more info.

hope this helps,
