Hi,

This problem usually means one of two things: you are not setting the
default route, or you are trying to set it but it is already set.

See if you have "defaultroute" as one of your pppd options, either in the
command line or in the /etc/ppp/options file.  If it is not there add it.
If it is there, check the /var/log/messages for an error message saying
that it cannot set the default route. You may have to delete the default
route before you connect with pppd if it is already set.  As root do

  route delete default

Also, as Colin suggested, try using netstat -rn (or 'route show') to see
how the ruting is getting set up both before and after connecting.
