Very Computer

I have configured my /etc/reslove.conf and ROUTE shows my routes that I hard
coded with my subnet and gateway....but still no luck.  I cannot ping, surf,
etc.

Any ideas?

If you can't ping 1 then tcp broke. Unlikely
Cant do #2 - submit route, ifconfig
Do 1 2 not 3.  Resolve.conf not setup correctly to ISP
nameservers.
You mention subnet - do you have more than one machine and where
are
you pinging from?  
Does the last line in route have default with gateway your isp
and
iface ppp0?   If not then your default is configured.  Nuke it in
Crontrol pannel, network configuration, Route.  Erase the default
routes.

In order to get past the ISP server pppd must be able to configure a
default route through the server IP.  If you already have a default
route configured, then pppd won't replace it with one for ppp0 even
with the pppd option defaultroute.  You don't need a default route to
a local network unless you need to connect through the LAN to another LAN
using a host running gated or routed.  A network route will do routing to
the LAN, the form is

/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} eth0

: Any ideas?

Remove the default route to the LAN and configure a network route.

If you are trying to connect a LAN to the internet, you need to set up
IP Masquerade or a proxy and either point machines on the LAN to your
ISP's DNS or to your own properly configured DNS (named).  You also
should use -net routing for your LAN and delete any default route
other than the defaultroute option for pppd.

I manipulate resolve config, ipfwadm rules and ip-forward from
/etc/ip-up.local and ip-down.local, since I use the same modem for
dialin and dialout.  When I am offline, resolv.conf simply contains
the word 'search' (w/o quotes).  We have no DNS on our LAN (remote
mainframe and smtp/squid servers are accessed across frame relay by
IP).
