I (We) don't know what to do if you are using windows xp, because this is not a support group for windows xp. But if you want to use Open Source Distros like ubuntu this ( http://wiki.ubuntu.org.np/ADSLConfiguration ) may be of help. I would also personally like to request you to use FOSS distros like nepalinux ( with its latest release V3.0) or fedora sulphur or ubuntu hardy.
