Check to make sure that /etc/resolv.conf contains correct DNS
information to allow hostname->IP resolution. Should look something
like this:
search <domain>
nameserver <IP>
nameserver <IP>
Next would be to make sure that the PPP connection is setup as the
default route. If you've got ethernet on that box too, that's quite
likely the problem -- you can't have two default routes. Check with
'route -n' when your PPP connection is up to see which device holds the
default route -- it'll be listed beginning with '0.0.0.0'.
Let me know what happens with these two ideas...
