in order to help you, we need some more info about your system/hardware. but here are some quick suggestions:
- have you tried disabling the firewall? if not, try to connect without the wall activated.
- is your modem really properly identified in harddrake?
- what are your network settings? do you have e.g. a second networking card that leads to a "misconfiguration"?

first of all im not a newbie but not a regular user too, just know enough to run my linux properly and can solve most of the problems that occur at my system...
my hardware list:
2.2 celeron cpu
1gb ram(and 2.3.6-7 i686 up to 4gb kernel sees it as 894mb ram, dont know why)
128mb asus gforce fx 5200
sblive
alcatel speedtouch 330 usb
onboard ethernet(asus board)
well i guess thats enough hardware info...
i havent tried disabling firewall... my modem seems indentifeid properly i also installed the firmware so there is no problem with my modem, i could run it perfectly on mdk9.2...
ok here is what i do, i go to the control panel then i setup a new connection, i choose adsl and it gives my two choices of devices, my ethernet and speedtouch modem, i choose speedtouch, and i use PPPoA protocol and enter all other config of my ISP, and when i try to connect it says the system doesnt seem to have an internet connection.....
let me know if u need anymore about my system......
