Hi, Haines:
That ppp0 IP address in your route looks odd.
1.160.252.64.sn
^^^ ?
Perhaps it is a truncated FQDN. More...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This may be a truncated fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
and may not be ping-able. Check with
# route -n
instead. I wonder what your (route -n) was before and after
adsl-start.
Actually, I think that 'netstat -nr' is identical to 'route -n'.

This is an external IP address. This is great! :-)

This is not the ppp0 address, 64.252.168.146 was.

;-) What other pings? Your other mention of an unpingable
address was unpingable by others too. :-|
I can ping 'aol.com' and 'yahoo.com'. Can you?
This will test your DNS server.
As per your report, everything looks fine...
except your choice of IP addresses to ping.
HTH, Chuck
