Hi Rajesh,
Just follow this..
Actually As you know the general proceedure to connect to the Internet:
1. Open System → Administration → Networking.
2. Select the connection you wish to use, then click Properties.
3. Ensure Enable this connection is turned on.
4. If your ISP or network administrator has given you an IP
address, set Configuration to Static IP address, then enter the
address in the IP address field and click OK. Otherwise, set
Configuration to DHCP and click OK.
5.To activate or deactivate network connections, select your
connection, then click Activate/Deactivate.
Most ISPs provide dial-up connections supporting PPP because it is a
fast and efficient protocol for using TCP/IP over serial lines. PPP is
designed for two-way networking; TCP/IP provides the transport
protocol for data.
PPP (Point to Point Protocol) uses several components on your system.
The first is a daemon called pppd, which controls the use of PPP. The
second is a driver called the high-level data link control (HDLC),
which controls the flow of information between two machines. A third
component of PPP is a routine called chat that dials the other end of
the connection for you when you want it to.
Configuring a Dial-Up Connection in Ubuntu
Ubuntu includes some useful utilities to get your dial-up connection
up and running.Here is the following ways you can connect to your
dialup connection
1)Using your networking option in Ubuntu
2)using gnome-ppp
3)using kppp (For Kubuntu)
4)using wvdialconf & wvdial
5)using pppconfig & pon/poff
first thing you need to make sure your modem drivers are installed or not.
Most dialup modems are not supported by Ubuntu, but drivers can be
found that will enable the use of such modems. First you need to
identify what chipset your dialup modem is using:
wget -c http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz
gunzip -c scanModem.gz > scanModem
chmod +x scanModem
sudo ./scanModem
gedit Modem/ModemData.txt
Read this file, it should list what modem chipset you have. Once you
are aware of the chipset you have, see http://www.linmodems.org/ and
follow the directions for your modem. More infomation can be found at
SettingUpModems on the Ubuntu Wiki.
Before Starting
Before configuring Dial-up connection you need to have the following
information from your ISP
1)Username
2)Password
3)Dail-in number
Please check the following link and try and go for an optimistic try.
