You must also check your default route.  When you bring up the PPP
connection, your default route is probably still set to your LAN.
You need to change it to point at your ISP's gateway.  You can do that
via a script or the following commands:

	route delete default gw (whatever your current gateway is)
	route add default gw (your IP's gateway address)
