We can guess, but you don't state your NAT outside interface. This
sounds like a lab setup (no proprietary info) so why not post your
complete configuration when you have problems like this? You would
probably get more informed responses if you did so.

Looking at debug outputs might be very informative as to what exactly is
going on:

debug ip nat detailed
debug dialer

See if you can use debug with a few experiments to figure it out. I have
found the technique of a 5 minute experiment during the lab exam to
uncover IOS behavior is a lot faster than spending hours searching
through documentation.

HTH,

Jonathan
