Note your IP Adress, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway and then reset your modem. Now do your manual configration of your network by entering those copied addresses.
Well I did it when my lights didn't glow at all I hope it will work for you too.

just turn off your firewall before connecting and then surf. after sometime just reload your firewall. all will work fine. I too had similar problem and it was solved by doing the same

my frend had that problem...
1. try gettin a new modem
2. if u have a usb modem, try a lan modem/router
3. if nuthn, tell the airtel guy to check the mainframe or whteva in ur area... ie the place where all the connections in your area are channeled... tell him to check ur connection there... the guy here sez that theres some plug or whteva that goes bust sumtimes, so he changes it, and usually, it ends up workin fine...
edit: kinda weird ur ubuntu internet's workin fine... well, try a new modem... might just work...

Well the news is that there was an earth quake in Taiwan which has damaged the undersea cable used by Airtel. Thhey have made alternate arrangements though.
