Try connecting your modem/router to your PC via USB instead of the LAN port.

i think that would need drivers which are not present in the os.

Yeah it might need drivers but sometimes the inbuilt drivers will work fine just as they are working for me.

connect with ethernet ...or usb or lan..
by anything..

make ur modem on..
then in the terminal type "sudo pppoeconf"
type ur password in the next line..
follow the command..
type ur user name & password..
then net connected...
no use of or no need of drivers..
for the next time type "sudo pon dsl-provider" next line the password..
that is it..

if it is not solving the problem..the type "ifconfig " in the terminal and paste the data here so that we can see/....
