Sorry, the newer dsl modems act as a firewall/server
Open the Network Configuration window
select the ethernet device that is connected to your dsl modem and click edit
in the edit window select 'Automatically obtain IP address settings with: dhcp"
then click OK
click File >Save
if the device is 'Active" cilck Deactivate then Activate
close network config
and try your browser
if this does not work, please give a detailed description of your computer and the dsl modem

DHCP option is inactivated, nic is a Devicom semiconductor, router is a D-Link DSL-G604T

I have now activated dhcp option but still no connection is made to my isp

open a terminal(Accessories>Terminal)
type su
your root password
type /sbin/ifconfig
you should see something like this
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:2F:5B:0F:EF

if yes type /sbin/route
this should come back
Kernel IP routing table

192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


if not list what is printed

This is what what is printed in terminal

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 lo

ok, that shows that no gateway is set .
but, what is the ip address set to ?
the ifconfig command will tell, look for 'inet addr:192.168.1.2' under eth0
if the adress is the same then type
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
if the address is differnt then list the address here

also have you set up the dsl modem to be a dhcp server if not read the manual
can't find the manual? then google D-Link DSL-G604T
check this out. it will make things simpler.

under eth0 is info

Inte6 addr:fe80::208:a1ff:fe28:488d/64 scope:link
