Configuring networks such as a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) primarily used for accessing the internet can be a hassle, especially when you aren't using the same operating system as what the directions were originally written for. This article is a starting point for configuring DSL using Ubuntu Linux.

Steps

Open Network Connections to set up network settings in Ubuntu. Go to “System”, “Preferences” and chose “Network Connections."

Under the “Wired” tab, click on “Auto eth0” and select “Edit."

Click on “IPV4 Settings” tab. Chose the “Automatic (DHCP)” option if your network has a DHCP server. The DHCP Server has automatically assigned the IP address to your system. Click "Apply." You also chose the “Manual” option from the Method drop-down list and assign the IP address, netmask and gateway manually. You'll also have to assign the DNS Server address. Click "Apply."
