Have you done any setting in Ubunto for internet, anything...
does you connected to internet in ubunto anytime before???
Do you use only LAN or Wifi too.........

1.Open Applications → Accessories → Terminal
2. In the terminal type:

sudo pppoeconf

3. A text-based menu program will guide you through the next steps, which are:
1. Confirm that your Ethernet card is detected.
2. Enter your username.
3. Enter your password.
4. If you already have a PPPoE Connection configured, you will be asked if it may be modified.
5. Popular options: you are asked if you want the “noauth” and “defaultroute” options and to remove “nodetach” - choose Yes.
6. Use peer DNS - choose Yes.
7.Limited MSS problem - choose Yes.
8.When you are asked if you want to connect at start up, you will probably want to say yes.
9. Finally you are asked if you want to establish the connection immediately.
4.Once you have finished these steps, your connection should be working.

To start your ADSL connection on demand, in a terminal type:

sudo pon dsl-provider

To stop your ADSL connection, in a terminal type:

sudo poff dsl-provider

@gaggan4392, i tried PPOE, soon after installing ubuntu, it dint work out, after tat suddently it was working for 2 days n nnow the same problem started.

@ Vignesh Iyers

Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access
Concentrator of your provider did not respond. Please
check your network and modem cables. Another reason
for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe
process which controls the modem.


This is the reply i got after scanning the ethernet in terminal.......

@gaggan4392 Hey system -> adminstration -> networking

I have only network tools in the list, no networking is found!

It is useful to know how to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a (A)DSL modem that is configured as a "Bridge". This document list the steps needed to establish a PPPoE network connection.

I use only XP PRO SP3. Not familiar with linux.

Error logs
If you are having problems with your connection, you may find valuable information in the system message logs. You may acces system logs either in a terminal, or with a graphical interface.

To use the grapical log viewer, in the menu bar, go to : System > Administration > System Log. You will find the system messages in /var/log/messages.

To use the terminal, type:

Code:

sudo dmesg.
