I can see that I am connected by looking at the modem (and I heard it connect!) but Firefox just tells me that the url is not available ("www.ubuntu.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again" - the same message I get when I am not connected. If I connect the other way, I have no problem).

Could be that or perhaps dns (name servers).

What's the output of 'route -n' and 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' both
connected and disconnected from the net?
