I have just started using DSL and I like it but I don't seem to be able to access any web pages.  My modem makes all the right noises and it appears to log onto the net.  When I open "FireFox" the first message I see is that the page cannot be accessed.  No matter what address I type the page is not accessed.  Am I logged on or not... how can I check?

try pinging some IP addresses, starting with your local IP, then your public IP, then the DNS servers.

Check /etc/resolv.conf to make sure that your DNS nameservers are listed at the top.
Check /sbin/route -n to see if ppp0 has a "U" and a "G" flag (up and gateway).

I don't know any more than that.

Well it seems I have a problem... heres the result of my investigations:

route -n contains five headings only and they ar:

Destination  Gateway  Genmask  Flags Metric Ref  Use IFace

There is no other information.

resolve.config has this information:

# insert nameservers here
# nameserver 127.0.0.1

And finally I am not sure how to "ping"

Regards,
