    Sorry i am late to reply.... Fist, thanks for your reply.. As Nate and Clem told i tried with both steps ie, with powered USB hub and without ethernet cable. But still i got same result. and i executed the command "route -n" to check default gateway. There i was getting only ip address for destination  and not for GateWay for ppp0. Will it be a cause for my problem? ??? Do i need to add default gateway for ppp0???
