Someone is going to need a lot more information to help you.  Read
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html.

and, in particular, describe:

- the environment (machine, modem, debian version etc.).

- how you tried to set it up.

- the research you have already done.

- in detail the diagnostic steps you have tried.

For example, list the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts...
