    Once the connection via ppp is established it will be found
    automatically by your browser.
    Thus you have to check your connection. The best way to do this
    is to start ppp manually - in terminal mode.
    Have a look again at # man ppp
    You need to get the three p's in the prompt rising to capital
    PPP>
    if they don't, you know something has gone wrong with the
    authentication.
    Then you can do a ping to some remote machine, p.ex.
    # ping www.freebsd.org
    if this doesn't work you know, that the domain name resolution
    does not work.
