Hello!!! I'm using an Acer Aspire 3002LCI laptop connected to another machine an using the Internet throught a proxy server. Today I wanted to connect to the Internet without turning the proxy server on and I connected my Ericsson modem's cable to my laptop RJ 45 port. I've executed pppoeconf and passed all the information needed to start the connection. In the shell I typed "pon dsl-provider" to connect but when I enter Mozilla there's no loading of any web sites until comes a message that it was not possible to connect to, for instance, www.google.com. Below, I put my /var/log/messages (just what is related to the pppoe):

I changed the proxy options in mozilla to use a direct Internet connection. If there's some other commands or files I must use to give more details about the problem I'd like to be aware of.
