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.
