Well a basic trouble shooting set of steps goes like:
1. ifconfig ppp0 - check interface has been created and logon succeded 2. ping DNS servers by IP addresss (see /etc/ppp/resolv.conf) 3. ping servers by name (e.g. google, bbc) If 1 fails then you need to check your logs to see why pppd fails If 2 or 3 fails but 1 ok then its probably your ISP's end Alex.
