It sounds like you're getting online, but nothing works after that?

First step would be to check if you can ping anything. Find out what your
mailserver's IP address is (eg. "host mail.my-isp.com") and see if that
works. It may be just a DNS problem, which can be fixed via some file
in /etc which I can't remember at all right now.
