It sounds like you may have a routing problem. Make sure your routes are correct:
route -n

so every time i have to route del -----then route add when i connect the laptop to the pc to share the connection...???..
i did #route add default gw 192.168.0.11
#route del default gw 192.168.0.11(the windows box)
laptop alone wont connect until i stop the eth0
and the default route already ---.---.---.254
i notice that the 192.168.0.11 auto-deleted when i connect the laptop itself

In your case eth0 is taking preference over the ppp connection because the default gateway is set via eth0. If the default gateway is set via ppp then your problem is solved
