From what you've posted the problem is you have machine1 as its own
gateway. Set this to "none" and let pppd setup a default route to your
ISP which *is* the gateway for machine1 and the masqueraded machine2.
I found the netconfig box a bit confusing, the gateway variable is as the
destination in the "route add default gw". Since you have a default
route pppd writes an error message to a log somewhere and ignores your
defaultroute option in the pppd command. You did rebuild te kernel with
all the firewall/forwarding/masquerading options as shown in the HOWTO,
correct?
If the gateway address you get on the otherend when connected to fred.net
via ppp is always the same you could enter its IP number into the
gateway box on machine1.
Hope this helps get you going.
