PPP to ISP



Please bear with me guys - I am having a bit of trouble
all in all, getting my Debian system to work nicely ( I
love it though).

I have set up a PPP connection to my ISP (Freeserve in UK).

Connection gets established OK - ifconfig shows it's up and
routing tables have sensible entries.
However I am only able to successfully ping the IP address
at the other end of the PPP connection. 
If I ping anything else - despite the fact that my modem
lights seem to indicate a packet is returned - ping insists
that no packets have been received. 
Could this be another inadvertant firewall problem?
I spent all weekend scratching my  head - looking at every book
under the sun.
