PPP0 is the "adapter" for the point-to-point protocol you are using over
your dial connection to your ISP. Generally you need to supply a username
and password (most ISPs use this setup). Make sure they are in config and
saved.

Also, make sure your are set for DHCP on this device. DHCP service also
provides the DNS resolvers needed to browse the web.

I would put my firewall back up.
