LinuxQuestions.org - Internet connects but no access, on Mint LMDE

Hello All!
Just installed Mint 11 (LMDE/XFCE). Been a long time Ubuntu user. I seem to connect to internet but I cannot access a single webpage. Ping and wget both fails. I am a BSNL Boradband user (India), using a router that requires a username and password to connect to internet. I used to configure my Ubuntu systems with "sudo pppoeconf". This time with Mint, I did the same (I guess everything is the same since it's based off Debian). While in Ubuntu, I used to say "yes" to automatically update /etc/resolv.conf but recently I read in Arch wiki that while using a router, resolv.conf should point to router's IP. So now my resolv.conf looks like:

Code:

# Generated by NetworkManager

domain local.lan

search local.lan

nameserver 192.168.1.1

ifconfig -a shows me:

Code:

and telnet 192.168.1.1 is:

I also tried

Code:

sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1

But no luck: I can't access internet after this:

Code:

sudo pon dsl-provider

Is there anything I am missing? Any help is much appreciated!
