You need to manipulate your routing tables so that your computer knows to 
send the packets through the ppp line (tun0 interface).

1.  su to root
2.  netstat -rn to list current routes 
3.  delete any routes with destination "default" (iijppp shoud do this 
    for you)
4.  "route add default <otherend>" where <otherend> is the remote 
machine.  

Set your ISP's DNS in /etc/resolv.conf as "nameserver 123.123.123.123".

Other than that, iijppp is pretty automatic.  

If this doesn't help let me know and I'll try to illustrate.
