Nothing coming back on ppp0 ?

Mr. Corbiere,

   What does your ruleset look like? And your routing table?
And what do you mean by pinging the "interface"? If you can't
reach your ISP gateway you either have a PPP problem or a routing
problem. Send us your ruleset, your routing table, and the output
of `tcpdump -i ppp0' when you attempt to ping your ISP's gateway.
