There was an errata about that. Don't cure the symptoms , cure the reasons !!
Read the errata on : http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3#gateway
Error scenario: You have an ethernet card for the local LAN and a modem for
internet access and you can't reach the internet.
Why: Drakconnect wrongly asks for a gateway, and ppp can't set your modem
connection as the default route.
Solution: As root, edit /etc/sysconfig/network and manually remove the GATEWAY
entry.

In your network configuration, do you have a GATEWAY
configured?
If so delete it, delete your rc.local hack, and let us
know if you still have this problem.

Yes the problem was cured by removing both GATEWAY declarations into
/etc/sysconfig/network
I had to remove the GATEWAY DEVICE = eth0 for there was still a default
route installed to IP 0.0.0.0 through eth0 with it.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Internet access now works fine.

description:
When upgrading with Mandrake 9.1 beta1 a system with both Internet connexion
wia modem (using ppp) and a LAN, a default route is set to the LAN IP adresse
that prevent Internet connexion to work.
pppd documentation explains clearly that a default route MUST NOT be set for
pppd to work correctly, as it cannot replace a new default.
This bug was also present with previous installation with 9.0 distro.
I cured the problem by putting the following line at the end of rc.d/rc.local :
route del default
Then pppd can assign a default route when connecting to the ISP.
