So I assume from that that ppp0 is up and has an IP address. Assuming you've set up your options properly look at /etc/ppp/resolve.conf and you should see the IP addresses of your ISP's DNS servers. They usually make a good first ping test. > My problem is that when I launch into Mozilla I cannot seem to resolve > any URL's. Probably your DNS settings.

Once you've got your linux box talking to the internet over the ADSL have a look at www.linuxdoc.org and follow the links to the HOWTO section. There is a great selection of "recipie" style documents for any number of tasks.
