   Is your problem with name resolution or routing? Can you ping to an
outside ip but not to a name or do both ways give you problems?

Things to check:
  Are your routes correct after ppp comes up?
  Are your running a firewall? is it blocking packets?
  Can you ping your side of the ppp interface after it comes up?
  Can you ping your ISPs gateway?
