Broadband Connection In Fedora

Usage of lan most at all times being infeasible, I'd like to introduce the configuration of broadband connection on Fedora (works for other distributions as well).
  1. Right click on the network icon on the top panel and click on "Edit Connections..."
  2. In the "DSL" tab, press "Add" button.
  3. Give the connection name as per preference.
  4. Give Username and Password given by the provider and name of the Service you are using(mine was BSNL).
  5. No need to make any further changes in any of the tabs. Click on apply.
  6. Observe that the connection name appears on the menu that shows connections configured when you click the network icon.
  7. Click on the connection you just created.

    Congrats! You are connected to the internet. Happy surfing!

  1. Hey nice! I'll refer to this post if I ever need to use a broadband connection. I just configured my Tata Indicom modem on Ubuntu. Check it out at http://varshamyspace.blogspot.com/2009/12/tata-indicom-usb-modem-on-ubuntu-910.html. Hope this helps someone.
