Better expand the LINUX OS version you use. Not familiar/known to all
like Windows XP or Vista. or MAC.

For settings in modem :

Run adsl-setup. Most likely it is already installed on your system. Otherwise you can also install it on yum enabled distributions like Fedora Core simply by:
yum install rp-pppoe
It asks questions like your login name and password (provided by BSNL), your ethernet interface (choose the default provided - eth0; works for most cases) etc. After the setup you should preferably reboot (or restart the network - service network restart) and you will find your DSL connection up and running.

You can also manually bring up DSL connection by:
ifup ppp0

You can bring it down by:
ifdown ppp0

I use only windows xp pro sp3. No LINUX experience.

Boss, you have given very little information, so

*Do you connect using some kind of a dialer(Bridge mode) or its Always On type when modem is switched on, intenet connection.(PPPoE)


If its in PPPoE, then you don't need to do anything is you have DHCP enabled. for some reason DHCP does not work, then you need to enter Network details manually. Press Main Menu Button (on the Panel) => System Settings => Network

Ip:192.168.1.100
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:192.168.1.1
DNS Server1:208.67.220.220
DNS server2:208.67.222.222

I use Mandriva, there is an option in the control panel itself, but no idea about RHEL5

It is a paid OS. How did you find it?

Which one? Mandriva or RHEL5? Mandriva is free (Mandriv One, Mandriva Free) though there is commercial version viz Powerpack and Mandriva Enterprise where as RHEL5 is commercial like Mandriva Enterprise.

That I asked to awkuward. RHEL 5 trial version is available for free after expiry of which you can't update it.

A "clone"available with updates.
Index of /centos/5

PS:not familiar with linux OS.
