Hey,
I have one desktop computer with windows xp installed and recently
connected to BSNL broadband via this setup (Landline phone - Modem -
*Router *- Lan Cord - Desktop (Windows Xp)).
The engineer provided us with username, password and Portal id, and
installed a software in desktop that connects us to internet.
I also have a laptop that have both Windows vista and Linux version
(ubuntu Ultimate edition 2.7) installed. router has 4 LAN ports and wifi
output.
Wifi has default settings and my laptop detects this with good network
but is unable to get internet connectivity at Firefox, internet explorer
and other browsers. This happens in both vista and ubuntu, so I guess
it's not ubuntu fight.
thn what it can be
??????
I am planning to install ubuntu UE 2.7 in desktop also, but don't know
how will I be able to connect it to internet (since there was some
software installed in case of windows xp) ?
I also want to change the default settings of Wifi (like putting a
password for access), currently thr is none, whn I will install ubuntu
UE 2.7 in desktop computer.
I tried till now
while LAN cord connected to my laptop (installing Gnome-ppp and putting
the settings like username and password, but it says the modem has some
problem), I also tried it using modem only but still same problem stays.
I tried connecting to default wifi in both vista and ubuntu but none
browser able to get internet connectivity.
I know abt how to put settings in section (Wired, wireless, mobile
broadband, DSL ) in ubuntu (through right hand top corner, network icon)
and if anyone knows any combination, plz update me asap.
Thnx for reading through and w'd greatly appreciate any help regarding
this.
PS : viruses are in abundance in the desktop and computer shutdown
automatically after 1-2 hrs. I am going to see if I can get any
information from the broadband engineer coming soon abt the settings.
Cheers,
Puneet

The best setup I consider is feeding the username and password right
into the router, so it is just simple LAN at your end.
Go to http://192.168.1.1 and enter admin as both username and password.
You will see the configuration page, go to WAN interfaces. Delete all of
them and create a new WAN interface with connection type as PPPoE.
It will ask for details, feed in, reboot the router, done.
Browse !
I've suggested this setup for many people no matter the OS.
