[ubuntu-in] problem in connecting to net using ethernet

[Sri ranga]

hello,
If you are using BSNL's ADSL modem , which model/type using.  I have
configured the BSNL's modem  on line  so that IP address obtained
automatically. You can take help from BSNL's customers service to configure
modem in webpage of 192.168.1.1, if it is new to you.
IIn my case, I have configured settings on-line of Modem's webpage and as
such internet connection automatically connected whenever you click on
browser.  Even ubuntu  and other linus os are automatically connected with
internent thro modem  - without any configuration on my part in any of OS.
In CD supplied with your Modem  there are instructions how to configure in
Modem's webpage.
