The DSL Router you are using must support Bridge Mode. Put the router in Bridge more and on your computer use pppoe to connect to the Internet.
Now whenever you connect to the Internet, you will be assigned a public IP on interface ppp0
Aah...I connect through PPPoE/PPPoA with PVC0. Bridge mode is supported in my ROUTER from PVC2 to PVC7.
Your interpretation of the IP assignment is incorrect. I have MTNL TriBand; the modem/router has a WAN port with a dynamic _public_ IP address and a LAN ethernet port which by default is 192.168.1.1.
Does MTNL allow it subscribers to tweak the ROUTER to change it to Bridge Mode connection type? Or I am mixing up things? Arun sir, kindly elaborate a little more.

I prefer the DSL modem/router to act as a gateway to my LAN. Thus, I have not experimented with setting the DSL router in bridge mode (Wan setting on PVC0) but it can be done via it's web administration page presuming you have DLink 502t. Can't speak for other brands.
To access the administration page point a web browser to 192.168.1.1 and use admin (for user) and the CA number (for password) that MTNL has given you.

The passwd is also 'admin' unless changed earlier. The CA number passwd is for mtnl's website interface where user_name is the telephone number and passwd is the CA number. If that passwd is changed, it should be updated inside your modem interface too.

Rony, thanks for correcting me. It has been a long while since I have messed with the modem settings and it was out of my cache and my NVRAM is getting flaky :)
