how can i connect my computer at home (OS - Linux) to BSNL broadband (dataone)  

This is a little how-to to configure an ADSL connection in Linux, mainly in Fedora, Debian or Ubuntu linux. I have assumed that you have already installed the distribution and that you have a LAN card in your computer which you are connecting to the router/modem.

Before I start the explanations, here is an excellent introduction to using a Desktop computer with Linux:

In the steps, note that for your Dataone connection, you must use "username@dataone" as the username and your password. Note the absense of ".in" from the username; the username does NOT include this.

If you want to use your modem/router provided by your ISP (e.g. BSNL Dataone) in bridge mode, then you need a pppoe dialer in your OS. In Linux, the dialer is called pppoe dialer.

Connect your modem/router to your computer using a LAN cable (USB network connections are not reliable, stay away from them). In Linux, the LAN cards in your computer are named as eth0, eth1, etc. depending on which one is detected first. If you have only one LAN card, it will most probably be called eth0. If you have another, it will be eth1, and so on. If you have multiple cards, you need to find out which one is really eth0 and which one is really eth1 etc. (in Debian and Ubuntu, the configuration script will automatically detect the card which is connected to your ADSL modem/router). You can use trial and error to find this out.
