Before you dial in, open a shell (xterm) and type 'route -v' or jusr 'route'
and see what the default route is. Then, dial in, and when connected,
again type route. See if you are winding up with TWO default routes,
one your eth0 device, and one your ppp0 device. Also check the
MTU setting of ppp0 ( type 'ifconfig'). If you find it anything but 1500,
then you need to set it to 1500 (like I found mine was at 1514 or some
such silly number. I use KPPP which allows you to specify command
line options to the pppd such as "mtu 1500", and also add to advanced
options 'before dial-ing" and "after disconnect" commands like
"route del default -dev eth0" and "route add default -dev ppp0"
or similar (from memory so do "man route" to verify the syntax). All
these issues were preventing me too, from pining or getting to domains
or making it really sporatic under default network setup with 6.0. All
fixed now with items I spoke of....
