It seems odd that you can only ping the gateway when PPP is working,
they should see each other all the time. Are you connecting them
directly via ethernet? It also seems slightly odd that your ISP would
approve of 192.168.1.3 as a static IP...are you not getting an address
via DHCP?

Also, are you using ipfw/natd or ipfilter/ipnat?
