I installed Ubuntu 11.10 today. I had installed Ubuntu many a times and uninstalled it again because I couldn't connect to the Internet. I tried configuring the DSL in Ubuntu, but it failed. I configured wired connections and it got connected. Then when I Connect to DSL, the wired connection gets Disconnected. Its very confusing as in: What is Wired Connection and what is DSL? My Windows Network setting looks like the one in the image. Please someone help me in configuring it in Ubuntu.
This is the Dialler setting which I use to connect to the net.
This is the output of ifconfig
rakz@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig -a
