[ubuntu-in] Help needed with VSNL DSL

[Svarup Bhai]

Hello all,
  Please, please help-- I am in great difficulty here in Bihar, with no electricity i have had to take a gas generator to supply electricity for the email communication needed to get my gutsy computer online. So far I could not do it. I am resending the below--please kindly review and advise. I have also gone to the general Ubuntu Support website and had extensive discussions, but people there are not familiar with ADSL and PPPoE. It needs someone in India to tell me how to get this running.  I also wrote to the India Ubuntu support forum website, but no reply. Please kindy review the below and respond as soon as you can. Because of no electricity, the situation is very difficult. Thank you!

  I installed my VSNL ADSL using the below instructions, and am now able to get online. But I can only go to google and search. It flies all around google without any problem or any hesitation whatsever. But it cannot go to ANY other website besides google. Someone suggested disabling IPv6, which I have done. But it didn't make any difference. 

So strange-- I can browse freely anywhere within the google system. But I cannot go anywhere else. And Gutsy does not recognize that it is online--that is, I cannot use the Add/Remove or Synaptic facility to do download updates for Gutsy. I am in Bihar, with only 1-2 hours of electricity per day and am currently running on a gas generator with a tenuos connection. Desperate to get this solved. Help please?

  1. Connect your ethernet wire to the port at the back of your computer. 
2. Fire up the terminal and type in sudo pppoeconf 
3. It should detect your modem. 
4. Keep on pressing enter. Fill in your user name and password when indicated. 
5. It should be easy to stick on to defaults. 
6. You should be prompted back to your terminal when it would say pppoe loaded. Simple. That's the end of terminal. 
Now go to System>Administration>Networking. Click on it. You would be asked for your password to carry out the administrative job as root. You should be prompted to enter the following details. 
1. Activate the Wired connection. 
2. Highlight the wired connection and click on properties. 
3. Check the box "enable the connection" 
4. Configuration as Static IP. 
5. IP Address : 192.168.1.2 
6. Subnet mask fills on it's own as 255.255.255.0 
7. Gateway address :192.168.1.1
