Hi, I am still not able to get over the problem. I get no connection from the MTNL internet from different places using the ethernet. I have an Acer Aspire One laptop and using Kubuntu 8.10. I recently upgraded the kernel. ifconfig shows an address in eth0 for inet6 but no address or mask for inet. I tried what Rony had said to manually edit /etc/network/interfaces or to use nano but both did not give any result. Sometimes, after the edit I get eth0 connection "unmanaged". I tried to change to "managed=true" but even that did not work. When I go to K->applications->system->network tools I can see that there is both ipv6 and ipv4 in lo but only ipv6 in eth0. I believe MTNL dhcp requires ipv4. Any workarounds? Thanking you in advance. Sanjay

You have to shut down the knetworkmanager software before doing your connection manually. Knetwork.... appears to be buggy. After that do everything strictly in command line only. It works.

You're being ambiguous. Care to explain the problem more logically and technically?
How do you connect the MTNL DSL router to your machine? What mode is the DSL router in? Do you have a different machine / different OS on the same machine for comparisons? Do you have a Ubuntu live cd?
And for a moment stop using the fancy GUI tools if you want to troubleshoot this. Apparently Kubuntu sucks on the GUI front.
in kubuntu using "sudo -i pppoeconf" command by filling a username,password field and other fields i am suggesting to to connect router by usb its very easy there are drivers already installed for usb dsl support you need not worry just connect router via usb it will work perfect but if you connect via ethernet if your card detects it and drivers are already installed then no problem i think usb router is very simple
