Changing it manually:)
Well, perhaps setting up something that will do this when you switch
modes.
If you remove that file, you can explicitly name the IP address when you
start ppp for an incoming connection.
ppp also has the ability to suggest an IP address, but to accept whatever
the remote demands. An incoming box should listen to the suggestion,
whereas your ISP will override it.

Your box thinks that it can reach the world via your ethernet card.
Shatter it's illusions.
Somewhere in the bootscripts, you will have a "route add default gw" line
which you don't want. Then you will have no default gateway, and ppp won't
think twice about setting your ISP up as your gateway.
