Hi Aditya,
my personal preference for setup is via command line.
Open a terminal   Applications menu up top, > Accessories > Terminal,  
then type as below

sudo pppconfig  and press "enter" give your password when asked (and 
"enter") and fill in the information.  connect when finished by typing 
pon (if you left the ISP section blank,
otherwise  pon and whatever you put in the ISP field.) Dissconnect by 
typing poff
This should all be OK if you have an external modem. If you are using a 
winmodem (software) others may be able to help you.
OR
Up to System menu, down to Administration > Networking and set it up there.

Hope this helps,
Take Care
