Ricardo, This is probably a better question for the MapServer list, but I will give it a shot:
I would suggest creating a WMS request and testing it directly in a browser. In your example URL[2], you are making a mode=map request, not a WMS request. If you get this to work, you know that you have a working WMS server. I am wondering if the issue with the WMS request not working is due to the spatial reference system used by your QGIS project.
