try to adsl-setup again

Check your /etc/resolv.conf file before and after connection.
This has been a problem with RH and Fedora products since 1998 !!!! Apparently when you use the auto selection in the ppp configurator, it places the DNS address in the wrong file so the browser can't find anything when it is time to resolve host.

Try using a the manual (static address) in the setup wizard rather than letting it assign an auto address. (you will need your ISP's address to do this.

good luck
