hello there.
are you sure this is really the problem? have you checked pppd's messages? you can have the debug logs of pppd by enabling debug option in /etc/ppp/options then reading /var/log/ppp-debug.log.
perhaps what the article means is that you disable network connections in LAN first, run dial-up then re-enable LAN.
i'm not sure but perhaps you can do that using the 'ifconfig interface up|down'.
