    Try pinging an ip outside such as 195.149.21.11 if that returns a reply then try pinging www.jolt.co.uk which the ip address above. Now if that doesn't work then your dns is not working or your dns settings are wrong. I've had similar problems with the dns crapping out, yes you've guess my isp is good old bto. Why oh why did I go back to bt?

    Another thing to do is check that you are not withholding your number when dialling as this will allow you to connect but not pass through any data...
    To check this, dial your mobile from your home and see if it comes up with your number or just says call. If it is the latter chances are that you are withholding your number. If so, put 1470 before your dialup number to solve the problem.
