I'll take a crack from what I see here. Are you pinging from your ppp connection? If so remember the 10.x.x.x network is reserved for private use and if your default route which is your gateway of x.x.107.206 is on another subnet in this case I am guessing is a public block and a whole other subnet you wont get any routing, your default gateway would have to be configured for something in the 10.2.5.x block, and then maybe aliasing that block to your ether card doing some sort of NAT translating. Right now your ppp connection really doesnt have anyway of finding the x.x.107.206 network. Now on the other hand if you tried pinging locally from the machine it should work because your ethernet card has a route out. Forgive me if I happened to answer this wrong, just trying to help.
