You did miss an important step: provide us will all the needed
information. The results of:
ifconfig -a
netstat -r
and more complete information about your setup of PPP.
It seems that there is no (correct?) route set up to the ppp0
interface. When using the kernel-based ppp implementation, this should
be done automatically when the interface is brought up, so I wonder if
the address and netmask the ppp0 interface gets correspond with that
of your ISP.
