A week back my company purchased 1 mbps leased line from the airtel ISP who gave mrotek SHDSL

modem and the engineer who have installed the wiring etc has given us two sets of ip addr which

he configured in winxp and the first set of ipaddr should be entered as the details follows

First set of ipaddr:
IP : 125.22.255.122
mask : 255.255.255.252
Gateway : 125.22.255.121

Dns server addr:
preferred dns server : 203.145.184.32
alternate dns server : 203.145.184.13

and the winxp must be restarted after and he says that the first set of ipaddr is for logical

connection that is this first set of ipaddr should be established with the ISP and after that in

the same place after restarting we have to enter the second set of ipaddr as follows in the same

ethernet device

ipaddr: 122.165.253.233
mask : 255.255.255.248
gw : 125.22.255.121

dns server address (same)
preferred dns : 203.145.184.32
alternate dns : 203.145.184.13

Again after restarting the winxp and after booting it starts up browsing

But what my actual question is i want to connect to linux machine but can't able to do i did the

same procedure what we should do for winxp but i failed in more attempts . In linux first of all

when i started configuring the first set of ipaddr the gateway pings and after restarting and

enterting the second set of ipaddr the gateway can't pings up and note in both set of this ipaddr

the gateway or same and what i have to do to get it connected

You can configure a network in Linux by entering information in various control files. Most distribution have GUI based programs which make network configuration easier. What distribution are you using and what program are you using to try and configure the network?

Welcome to LQ!

You have GUIs for configuring network (DSL in your case).

Distribution?

In Fedora/RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux you have

Network Device Control --> New DSL Connection -->...you will need all of addresses.
