Try http://64.28.67.150/ - then try http://slashdot.org/ - it's the
same thing, but you're not depending on working DNS for the first one
- just to rule out DNS problems.

In order to view /var/log/messages, you must be root.

I'd also try and set up ppp, rather than use wvdial, but let's have a
look at /var/log/messages first.

Cheers.
