You can type ifconfig to get a good bit of info about your connection. The 
command route will get you the routing table, both can be used to configure 
your connection as root. 

You will enter these commands in a console window. the KDE console program is 
Konsole, under System in the KDE Menu.

It would be interesting to see output of ifconfig, and route from your 
machine. In Konsole, highlight the text you want to copy, and right click 
select "copy", then paste it into an email.

To use System Settings, you would enter all the info in Network Settings as 
the root administrator. Mine is set up to use my router as the default 
gateway, and as the DNS provider.

But the first thing I would check out is the ADSL router. Is it compatible 
with Linux, or does it need to be tweaked, thrown out, or worked around? 
Query google for answers. Use both the router name and model and the ISP and 
linux. You may find answers there.
