Certainly you did configure firestarter to use a setup which does not
reflect changes of the dial-in IP. The direct way to fix this situation
is to rework the rulesets. At least check the NAT rule whether it
contains the current IP of the outgoing device. The trivial workaround
is to call a firestarter restart through /etc/ppp/ip-up.local.
