Things to try:
Does ping work with a hostname and an IP address? Do the other
programs? Do they work from the console? Do they work as root? Is
/etc/resolv.conf OK? Is /etc/nsswitch.conf OK? Where do the programs
get hung if you use `strace' on them? Do you see any network traffic
with `tcpdump -n -i ppp0' after you install the tcpdump package? Do
you get any unusual messages when you start ppp with the `debug'
option in /etc/ppp/peers/provider?
