Hi Nikhil: The easiest approach is to update the file, /etc/init.d/network manually. Excerpt of Sec 3.4 from http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/network-administrator/ch-tcpip.html #! /bin/sh ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 IPADDR=192.168.50.23 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.50.0 BROADCAST=192.168.50.255 GATEWAY=192.168.50.254 ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} route add -net ${NETWORK} [ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 Change the ip address, netmask, broadcast and gateway on the basis of your Sify connection. Restart network service and try to ping/access external network. When learning a system, sometimes, it helps to work with the configuration directly sans the UI. thanks Saifi.
