route add 127.0.0.0 dev lo
route add 192.168.1.0 dev eth0
route add <other side of ppp0> dev ppp0
# This is usually set up when your pppd connection is established
route add default gw <other side of ppp0>

This assumes you don't have your local network segmented.

Now to test, ping another machine on your LAN, ping the gateway, ping
www.yahoo.com.  If all three of these work from the dialin box then
your network is up and running as expected.  If you still can't get
things to work from another host on the LAN to the outside world then
you probably have a problem with your IP Masquerading.
