If I remember our discussion at the Tech Brewpub, your ethernet is not
connected to any other networks when the PPP connection is down.  Is
that correct?

If it is correct, then you should not have a default route through
your ethernet.  To remove the default route, edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and comment out the line
that says, "GATEWAY=192.168.0.1".

Once you remove the extra default route, all your problems should
disappear. (-:
