    Have a look at the DNS settings. If its connecting but the connection seems dead then its always the first thing I check.

    Its possible that the TCP/IP settings are still set for this Armenian dialup connection.

    ( if you have the "obtain an ip address automatically" option on) the modem sometimes needs to be reset, power everything down, modem and computer. turn the modem on first then hub/router then the laptop. and that should do it.
