You can try this from the command line once you are connected:
Check what IP you have been given:
tail -100 /var/log/messages
It should have 2 lines like:
Jun 9 15:46:55 MAIN pppd[10539]: remote IP address 192.168.0.1
Jun 9 15:46:55 MAIN pppd[10539]: local IP address 192.168.0162
Check that they are the same as when you do:
/sbin/route -n
You can also try to remove the default route:
/sbin/route del default
And add it again:
/sbin/route add 192.168.0.1 ppp0 # Replace IP with
your remote IP
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.0.1 ppp0 # Replace IP with your
remote IP
or just
/sbin/route add default ppp0
Hope this works.
A copy from your /var/log/messages will help to diagnose the problem
