As someone has already pointed out, you can connect to your DSL provider
via linux, Windoze, or whatever. It does not matter to the DSL provider;
what does matter is that your interface is set up properly. If you can
connect with windows, my guess is that you have your eth interfaces set
up wrong.

                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Before you do the following, log into your DSL modem/router and check
the DNS settings (perhaps log into 192.168.1.1 from your browser?) -
don't change them, just write down what they are. You can also do this
in Windows if you can't from linux just yet. I'm guessing from the above
IP that you are using c-net and your DNS should be:

Primary DNS:
63.172.74.211
Secondary DNS:
63.172.74.203

See: http://www.c-zone.net/settings.php

In Ubuntu
Go to System|Administration|Networking
and bring up the network settings interface.

>From the above it appears that you have two NIC's in the laptop. You
only need one, so for starters click on Ethernet connection for eth0 and
deactivate it by clicking on the "Deactivate" button.
  Now click on the eth1 interface and the "DNS" tab. Add your DNS IP's.
and click OK.
  Now go back to the Connections tab & click on the Properties for eth1.
Check to see if the connection settings are set for "DHCP". Click OK.
At the bottom of the page you'll see: "Default gateway device", make
sure that it is set to eth1. Click OK.

Now bring up your browser (Firefox?) and try to connect to your DSL
modem and/or Google. Does it work? If not, you might want power down
your laptop, reboot your DSL modem (power down for 30 sec or more), wait
another 30 sec and then power up your laptop & boot back into linux and
then try again.

If that doesn't work, then try doing the same using eth0 instead of
eth1. Just remember to only have one active at a time while you are
troubleshooting.

If neither work, then try using a fixed IP rather than DHCP. It could be
that your modem/router isn't issuing a proper IP address and using a
fixed IP will work instead... say 192.168.1.103, or perhaps a different
subnet, say 192.168.4.103.

That's my 2 cents... good luck & hope that helps.
