please check if your /etc/resolv.conf file is empty
it is supposed to contain the ip addresses of dns nameservers
in the following format


nameserver <ip-addr>
nameserver <ip-addr>

please provide the ip-addr of vsnl/mtnl dns nameservers (or any other isp
that you are using).
then try connecting to the net.
hope that helps!
