I missed the original mail. 
Does the ISP provided you with username, password and IP address/DNS servers? 
If it is DHCP, then Ubuntu will connect to the internet once the ethernet cable is connected from your ZTE ADSL to your VIA RhineII Adapter(If this card is Linux-supported), so I suspect that you do have a custom details provided by your ISP. 

Another option would be to setup a router - any router then setup the connection details(provided by your ISP) to your router, setup a DHCP connection and connect your Ubuntu to that router. Then you should be connected to the internet immediately. The difficulty of configuring a router for an internet connection and then DHCP for local addresses varies from router to router but most often it is more difficult than configuring Ubuntu directly for internet connection. We do have an Edimax router with username/password/public IP/dns server-configured to connect to a ZTE ADSL provided by PLDT.

I can't seem to visualize the steps above so let's wait for the 
community to answer your questions. 

I can answer this last question though - No, it doesn't matter where the 
LiveCD came from, as long as it was burned/pressed from the official 
ISO. The only time it'll become a factor is when it won't boot up.
