Try to setup your default gw to the address of the ppp
connection
#route add default gw ppp_address
also see how is you maskerade with
#iptables -L -t nat
if is not active you shoul do like this
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethx -j SNAT --to
ppp_address
ethx is your external interface
Hope this help!!!
