Do that then, once you are "connected", type:
ping 158.43.128.1
if you get no packets back, it's a problem with your ppp settings. If
you do get packets back, type:
ping www.yahoo.com
if you get no packets back, it's your DNS settings. Look at
/etc/resolv.conf - you should see at least one line like this:
nameserver ip.address.of.nameserver
If you don't add such a line (or two) with valid nameservers. Your ISP
should give you such settings. If they haven't, you could use:
nameserver 158.43.128.1
but only temporarily - it's a Worldcom/MCI nameserver and might not live
forever.
Oh, and set a hostname. (see man hostname).
PWR.
