Does your modem authenticate and connect?

You have to use SAMBA server to share files from DSL to M$ computers

You can open an xterm and use the command:

tail -f /var/log/messages

This way you can watch your modem "talk" to the ISP and see if it connects. Use Ctrl-c to break out of the tail command.

Also check your /etc/resolv.conf to see if you have a nameserver to resolv names to addresses
