I installed my VSNL ADSL using the below instructions, and am now able to get
online. But I can only go to google and search. It flies all around google
without any problem or any hesitation whatsever. But it cannot go to ANY other
website besides google. Someone suggested disabling IPv6, which I have done.
But it didn't make any difference.
So strange-- I can browse freely anywhere within the google system. But I
cannot go anywhere else. And Gutsy does not recognize that it is online--that
is, I cannot use the Add/Remove or Synaptic facility to do download updates for
Gutsy. I am in Bihar, with only 1-2 hours of electricity per day and am
currently running on a gas generator with a tenuos connection. Desperate to get
this solved. Help please?

1. Connect your ethernet wire to the port at the back of your computer.
2. Fire up the terminal and type in sudo pppoeconf
3. It should detect your modem.
4. Keep on pressing enter. Fill in your user name and password when indicated.
5. It should be easy to stick on to defaults.
6. You should be prompted back to your terminal when it would say pppoe loaded.
Simple. That's the end of terminal.
Now go to System>Administration>Networking. Click on it. You would be asked for
your password to carry out the administrative job as root. You should be
prompted to enter the following details.
1. Activate the Wired connection.
2. Highlight the wired connection and click on properties.
