in windows do you require a dialer to connect to the internet or does the internet work as soon as you switch on your modem?

if it automatically connects you, then you dont need to setup a connection..just make sure that eth0 gets an ip.go to system->admin->network and go to eth0 properties and set it to DHCP and then try.

Hi , thank you for being patient..But it still dont work.." eth0:3c501 device does not seem to be present" since this was the device selected as default i had choosen this...is this due to any driver installation missing for Network card?

could be.. are you connecting via LAN or USB?? go to the terminal and type ifconfig and post output here
