Also, once the router is plugged in and all the lights except LAN are on, post the output of `ifconfig` and `route -n`
Also, did you try adding the Network Monitor applets on your gnome panel like I had mentioned in my last email?

Sorry for asking again, but run this command 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' and now connect your usb plug into the pc. What device does it detect and what alias does it use eg eth0 etc. If it gets a device name like eth0 etc. then edit your /etc/network/interfaces and add the following lines to it. Replace eth0 with your device alias.
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
or
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 (some white rectangle modems use 192.168.1.2 as the usb gateway)
Then edit your /etc/resolv.conf to use the following lines. nameserver 203.94.227.70 nameserver 203.94.243.70
Then do 'sudo /etc/inet.d/networking restart'.
Hope it works for you.
