Thansk, everybody! It is just working now. Nothing that I didn't remember having made before (ok, if it is working...). a) I call my ISP support asking for its DNS server number. b) I included it (only the primary number did the job) in /etc/resolv.conf c) this time i didn't use /dev/modem as device, but /dev/ttyS3 (I was going to think that could be a bad link, so I tried ttyS1, S2, S3, etc. untill this last worked); now /dev/modem is pointing to ttyS3 (I think that it was set up correctly before: but we never know :) "The sleep of reason produces monsters " (Goya) :) Now I need to give permissions to user "adagilson" to connect, not only "root". I typed: $chmod 666 /dev/modem $chmod 666 /dev/modem $chgrp users /etc/ppp/pp* But user adagilson can't connect yet. a. Jos van Kan escreveu:

You're correct it can open webpages when I type the IP address: http://216.239.39.104/ That means my ppp connection is ok. Although the same problem still remain: I can't open webpages if I just inform the domain (in "human readable form"): www.google.com.br The DNS server's number of my ISP was informed as I said before. It is on /etc/resolv.conf But I can't open anything typing the domain. Another problem I could find is that even typing numbers (IP address) it is loading webpages so slow.

(snip) Looks like a DNS server problem though (maybe typo in ip address in resolv.config?) Try host -v SOME_REAL_NAME (like www.suse.com) from the command line and see if it gives you anything.
