u are presently on Bridge mode.
shifting to PPPoE mode [connecting from the modem with ID & password saved in the modem] would make your modem system independent.
for changinf the configuration, u can access the modem from your browser by using the address 192.168.1.1 and user id & password both as "admin"

change your modem config from bridge mode to pppoe mode from windows and after that install/boot linux ... this should work for you.

Configuring the connection in bridged mode in the latest ubuntu 8.10 is similar to windows, complete with wizards.
