connecting to bsnl broadband in ubuntu. Guys, i searched for threads relating to setting up internet connection in Ubuntu, i could not understand the process. Somebody please explain to me in a simple and detailed way how can i connect to the bsnl broadband in ubuntu.
configure your router in pppoe mode from windows and then switch to linux.
The gateway address, the DNS address etc has to be setup separately in Linux too!!Originally Posted by saurav_kataruka
Where do i get The DNS address and gateway address, Where do i fill these?
Through commands in the TERMINAL? if yes please mention the steps.
If my set my Modem to PPPoe mode will i need to enter these values?
How do i begin surfing after setting it PPPoe mode.

well, i told you only the basic step .. i am no expert about linux - cool_techie will definitely guide you through the entire process... wait for his reply ..
The process in Ubuntu is very Simple
Go to System>Adminstration>Network>Ethernet
The following details:
IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet:255.255.255.0
Default Route:192.168.1.1
DNS:
Primary: 208.67.220.220
Secondary: 208.67.222.222
For PPPoE(Always on), only this much is needed
Now, if you want to configure in Bridge Mode, then open terminal via
Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
and enter command sudo pppoeconf
Keep on pressing enter. Fill in your user name and password when indicated.
It should be easy to stick on to defaults.
Post back,in case of problems
Lol seems like gaurish beat me to it while i was sleeping
Still @danny86 able to connect or not? God knows!!!
well you dont really have to manually assign the ips and DNS ips.. by default your ubuntu should pickup the ip from the router.. although yes assigning static ip would do the trick...to get an ip incase you arent getting an ip type sudo dhclient eth0 where eth0 is the interface connected to the router .. also you need to mention if you are in bridged mode or ppoe mode ( recommended)
hey man, i nt done it till nw, i m bit of a lazy duck, i'll do it tommorow, let u knw 2mrw
Thanx for the information, seems this will do, but cn u tell me, is the IP, subnet, defualt route is same for every one? Please elaborate even if i put my question in a wrong way.The process in Ubuntu is very Simple

It's a little complicated to configure OpenDNS in Ubuntu if you are using Bridge mode. So pppoe mode is easier to use in Ubuntu.
Dont we need to add the OpenDNS IP address to the eth0? Or mere setting them in the router will suffice?
How can we set DNS in Modem/Router, when its in Bridge mode ?
In my modem (UT300R2U), the DNS option disappears when I set it to Bridge mode.
It is dependent upon the router firmware. In my D-Link 2540T, i can set the DNS regardless of the current mode i am connecting.
Its a Private IP to be used in Private LANs.hey man, i nt done it till nw, i m bit of a lazy duck

You can safetly use this same config on all machines you want to connect BB
