maybe also look at the result of route -nr command when you are dialed out
to see which device is apart of your default route (my bet is eth0). Then
have a look in /etc/sysconfig/network and checkout what your default route
is, you may have to set this manually or set it to 0.0.0.0. Then have a
look at ifcfg-ppp0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and see if you
said yes to default route.
Another good test is to try and do traceroute to your up stream provider, if
you get a no route to host error (or similar) try the same command with a -i
eth0 switch and I am sure that will work. If it does, well then, I think the
first paragraph will get you on your way
