What symptoms do you see?

Can any of the machines access each other at all?

Does each machine have a correct and identical /etc/hosts, or are you
using DNS?

If it is a problem only with access to the internet, do you have
masquerading and forwarding  enabled on the dial out machine?

Here I'm successfully using 192.168.1.1 through ...254 with netmask
255.255.255.0.
