You should check if your modem really doesn't succeed in connecting to the 
internet. Look at /var/log/messages for an error message. Also issue the 
command

/sbin/ifconfig -a 

and check if there is a device that sounds like ppp0. Does it have an IP 
address?

If it does have an address, check your /etc/resolv.conf. Does that file 
contain some nameservers?

If it does: Execute "/sbin/route -n". Check if there is a line that looks like

0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1

Route ususally outputs several lines. The one starting with 0.0.0.0 is the 
most important one.

Please send us the output of all commands and we might be able to help you :)

Best regards,
Lothar
