The problem is probably related to your having your default gateway set to
the local address, and therefore there being no route from the local address
to the new ppp address.
Since you probably don't need ethernet and modem running at the same time, a
solution is to switch off the eth0 temporarily (ifconfig eth0 down) while
you use the modem.
If you really need both at the same time, you'll have to do something fancy
with the routing configuration, which is beyond my current skill. Check
your current routing with route -n or netstat -r.
