pppd should set a default gateway for you for the rest of the internet.
It looks to me that when you uncomment those lines in
/etc/network/interfaces you had set your machine to route to itself for
the whole internet ... which probably had nowhere to go hence no pings
etc from the internet.
Check your routing when your ppp link is up. That may give some clue.
I'm confused why IGMP packets are getting logged here from routing. My
firewall gets these all the time, I made a a special rule because I got
tired of them being logged. Same destination subnet too 224.0.0.1, but
mine are coming from 192.168.100.1.
