Use the "route -n" command to see if you have a route with
destination of 0.0.0.0 and with the gateway/router set to your
PPP peer.
If yes, then you're already done with the default route. If
not, then you have to tell pppd to add a default route
(possibly, substitute one that you already have) with a route
like described above.

Are you *really* using your IP or using names? Names won't
probably work before you can get pinging hosts in the
Internet.

P.S.: You should ask this question to debian-user@lists.debian.org,
where this will reach a much wider audience and help you faster.
