hello all,
Look at the following for the dual IP address. One is for IPv4 and second one is for IPv6. Is it possible or the following machine should not connect to the internet ???

You also have ppp running which suggests that you are running dial-up(probably).
Anyway if the kernel routing table is configured properly you should be able to connect to the internet.
