Basic troubleshooting steps:
1. Use traceroute or tcptracroute to a known IP address. Make sure
your internet connection is really alive. If not, you have other
problems...
2. Make sure your nameservers are where you think they are. Try
doing:
host www.debian.org <nameserver-ip>
3. After dialing up, check your /etc/resolv.conf file and make sure it
has the right IP address (the one that got successful results in step #2)
