You probably have your default route going through your ethernet before starting pppd, and pppd doesn't remove it. Either: 1) Remove the ether defaultroute (it's not necessary if you've got only one network, and if you've just got a few of them, add manual routes) 2) Set up the defaultroute in an ip-up script and re-establish the previous one in an ip-down script.
