Check your Linux machines for a route advertising daemon such as bird, 
quagga, or zebra. Check the network for packets of protocol RIP, IGMP, 
OSPF or BGP.

Possibly unrelated, but check the PPP configuration:
  - Look for "defaultroute" in any file (/etc/ppp/options* 
/etc/ppp/peers/*)
  - Look for scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d that modify routes
  - I'm not certain, but check /etc/network/interfaces for a
    definition of ppp0, there might be something interesting
    in that
