Typo?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the reason why everything's not working on your machine.
Remove this line.
Remove the ppp0 network interface.
Add:
gateway_enable="YES"
I'm assuming your /etc/ppp.conf is set up correctly; for dynamic IP,
and you're invoking it as:
ppp -auto -alias your_isp_entry
When ppp connects, it should then add an entry to your routing tables
so that the default route is on the other end of your ppp connection.
