If your modem is up but the web is down, it is often because you have forgotten to specify the addresses of your nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf. Your ISP will give you the IP addresses of the nameservers.
Otherwise possibly the default route has been set to the wrong IP address, as Heracles has suggested may have happened during your install. Is is a new install? "route" tells you about the default route, and it should be straight to your ISP whenever the modem is up and ppp is connected. A friend had a problem where he had issued the the magical incantation (to try to get connection) route add default gw <his own hostname> and all transmissions thereafter were sent to himself ...
