I've installed Linux Ubuntu along with windows xp also. Mine work when I first started the OS. I didn't have to tweak or configure any thing.

It depends on how your DSL works. If you have DHCP, then it will configure itself. If your modem uses PPPoE, then you need to use the pppoeconf tool.
Let me know what you've got.

You should just run pppoeconf from the terminal, then it walks you through the configuration and you put in what it needs.
