If you can ping IPs outside, but name lookups fail, your domain name (DNS) entries are incorrect. At some point Macs did not do a good job of getting the DNSinfo automagically via PPP, in my experience (although Windows machines would). Make sure you are specifying the DNS server (by IP, not by name ;) ) in the ppp config, or in the DHCP config if you are using ethernet.
