redhat network configuration is simple. search around and you'll find your way. I think there are good tutorials and documentation on this subject online.

u are not clear enough regarding the connection.
is the connection dsl or adsl?
or is it cable internet?
adsl commands work fine for pppoe connections

if u are from india which is the service provider u are accessing?

[ssujais]

its an adsl connection. i am from india and the provider is BSNL. AS i said the commands are working fine. when i run the xdsl-status command i get and inet address something like 59.*.*.*... so i think i am getting connected, but the problem is that i am unable to ping any webpages by the URL or its ip address.
