How to start [Configure] BSNL Broadband connection on Ubuntu Linux.

Just few days ago, i installed UBUNTU 8.04 LTS on my laptop, as i am user of BSNL Broadband, i connected BSNL Broadband [Dataone] to my laptop for surfing the net, but i think few people face few problems while connecting to BSNL Broadband [Dataone] in Ubuntu Linux. so i am providing a quick guide or tutorial for new users to start there BSNL Boradband on Ubuntu Linux.
[Note: This guide is for LAN connection only, and not for the USB connections as many modem manufacturer doesnt provide drivers for Linux versions.]

Step 1:

Go to your Network control panel.
Follow steps : Taskbar >> System >> Administration >> Network.

Step 2:

Now you will see some thing like this

Network settings

Then click on the Unlock button and then it will ask for Administrative password, Enter your Password. and click Authenticate so that it will unlock the locked features.

Step 3:

Click on Wired connection and then its properties, it will show you “Connection setting tab” select “Automatic configuration (DHCP)” from the list and click OK.

Step 4:

Select Point to Point connection, and go to its properties. It will pop up the pppo properties.
Check the “Enable this connection”, and select “PPPoE connection type” and Enter the account data (Username and Password)in specified boxes,

Step 5:

Go to Modem tab from same Window, select the Ethernet interface (Generally the eth0)
Go to option tab select all check boxes. and then OK. and close.

Now everytime you want to connect to net, just click on LAN Icon on taskbar and go to Dial Up connections and click on Connect to pppOe via modem and get connectiviy.

So now just start your Firefox and start browsing the internet from your Ubuntu Linux.

  Hello, chetan i am unable to setup wireless connection on bsnl .
  My router automatically dials the connection and i m using WPA-PSK Network Authentication and TKIP, WPA Encryption on Modem.
  My Laptop has a Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection.

  Hi,
  Is same OS ? (Ubuntu)
  If yes then i will have to try it , but actually i dont have wireless router, so it will take some time to get the solution for this problem.

  hello chetan.
  yes i m using ubuntu i am a newbie but i m an expert on windows, so i decided to expand my field of knowledge too linux ,
  ny ways i figured out the solution.
  the default connection manager in ubuntu does not have much options for wireless connection .
  so i used “WICD” wired & wireless network manager for Linux , its cool now i am connected .
  chk it out
